  1. Was it a CGR? those are fun rods, they should match up perfectly.
  2. A nice sparse clouser will work wonders, but don't be afraid to experiment with other materials than bucktail using the same style hook and eyes. The half/half is a good example. I also love a murdich minnow for subsurface, they are a breeze to cast and simple ties.
  3. Unlikely it will get down but here's to hoping.
  4. Recently picked up their fiberglass 8.5 foot five weight. I'm glad to see they stand behind their products while still offering aggressively priced fly rods.
  5. It was a great day to be out I'm sure. Weather tomorrow looks a little rough. I might not make this one either, came down with a cold today but will see how I feel tomorrow.
  6. I'm looking forward to catching up with everyone, looks like a solid turnout so far. I've got a feeling 2017 is going to be a good year on the smallie front.
  7. I'll take you up on some fishing Joe, Count me in for pizza too.
  8. I've got a good feeling about this year. Thanks for putting it all together Terry, can't wait to catch up at some events.
  9. Those are fantastic, I dig the sheen of those materials, what are they? Did you use a dubbing brush? so many questions.
  10. This is a real fun event, it's massive. Lots to look at as well as good fishing, camping, kayaking discussion.
  11. Clear your inbox Tim! I'm very interested, shoot me a PM.
  12. Good stuff. I've made all my flyboxes this year, I don't see why you would pay $30-40 bucks for something you can make under $10. Pistol cases off amazon, old VHS boxes (especially the double wides) used first aid kits (the ones with a sealed rubber gasket) So many options. I've got a can of heavy duty adhesive spray at home that has worked out for me without all the prep.
  13. how much are you looking for the honda? feel free to PM
  14. I'm still tentative, I have a chance to overnight somewhere so I might bolt up north, will let you know by Saturday.
  15. I can't say I knew Bob personally but it sounds like his ideals and passions are still living on through many of you, not many people make that kind of impact with their lives. RIP
  16. I'm tentative, have musky on the brain at the moment.
  17. Sorry to hear that Paul, were you in a canoe?
  18. great info and report Rob, I'll be keeping this in mind on upcoming outings. I haven't had much luck on topwater, probably a byproduct of not committing to it.
  19. Looks like a perfect outing to me. Way to pop some.... apples.....
  20. Will be in the area for an early Fathers day family event. Might be able to swing by at some point but it's unlikely I can make the whole outing.
  21. Good call on the spawn timing... Are we speaking Strictly wading Terry? or is floating an option as well? I hope to make this but need to check the schedule.
  22. Would have liked to make this but it's a little late notice for me. Have any other lessons planned for the future?
  23. Ben K.
