  1. This young lady is an excellent wood carver and an avid fly fisher. Her dad is heavy into split cane fly rods.
  2. Nice Bart! Let us know how you do. Even !/32 oz under a float. Less weight for the fish to suck in seems to work best for me.
  3. Yet another sign of global warming. Or would this be the new sport of ice drift fishing.
  4. Thanks Rob, and I would say yes to a little Yiddish.,
  5. Rob, they look nice and buggy. What is the best way to work one of those critters? Do they gurgle as the name implies?
  6. My vocalist/comedian friend,Warren Moulton, knows Yiddish. He starts in Yiddish and ends in English.
  7. I tie my own also, as it is less expensive. I am a master at putting my fly line in places it shouldn't be, and then bringing back only a portion of it. I am also very good at creating wind knots and not so good at getting them out. It is a good idea to know how anyway, just in case you are in a situation where you need to.
  8. Looks like Washington got hit bad. Hope all are well..
  9. I google imaged aquatic insect traps. I think John has the answer.
  10. I would say this is especially true in quiet water or when the fish are less active, like when they are under ice.
  11. The Flying Lure went backwards on the drop. I do not recall who produced it. I know some guys who had great luck with it tossing it under docks for largemouths. It had a similar look. No-no on the Nano, Na-nu.
  12. Colt, It is always nice to hear your rod reviews even though I'm not in the market for one. I am looking forward to the Orvis SFT review.
  13. Nice Mike. I landed my only muskie on a fly while fishing for steelhead a few springs back. It was a whopping 9" long. It flew out of the water when I set the hook. Definitely picture worthy, it being my first and only muskie on a fly.
  14. Nice Terry. Thanks for sharing. Neat for the float 'n fly folks to see.
  15. Ryan,I love that river, I've seen some monster muskie and sturgeon on the small stretch I used to fish years ago. Tim, that's a fine looking fly.
  16. I use all kinds of materials to tie flies or lures or whatever you want to call them. I suppose it would be unclear as to weather I am a fly tier or a lure maker. I would definitely say I am a lure maker when forming a crankbait as there is no tying involved, but what about poppers, seam flies, or the tinsel flies I tie. I personally consider any fly a type of fish lure but not all fish lures are flies. The term fly tier could mean different things to different people.
