  1. Excellent report! Nice you could fool a few game fish among the spawning toughs. Even better you could enjoy some solitude.
  2. Are there any dates set for a planting this year?
  3. That takes all the lies out of how big our catches are!
  4. Winter is tying season. Good to get creative and work out new ideas. I am in the same boat as you. Tied a mess of new patterns. Many are unproven. However the main stay Clouser ties up quickly. I plan to fish as many of my new ties as possible this season. Including the flies from the swaps to broaden my horizons. Nice craw pattern BTW!
  5. Nice work with the flies gentleman! Can't wait to receive them AND fish them!
  6. Glad we got that sorted out. Now, go on an git fishin'
  7. Agreed. Let's not forget the algae blooms that abound on the K3. The result of chemical runoff. Fertilizers that make the lawn lush and high yielding crops. To whom do we bring the fight? Our beloved smallie is not the only fish species to suffer a poor spawn. It effects the whole ecosystem.
  8. These types of events are the cost of our dependence on petroleum. Yeesh! I hope the impact is minimal.
  9. Venue was superb! First class all the way. Great place for date night with the spouse. Films were very well produced. The passion and artistry of the sport was captured elegantly. The scenery; from the Alaskan tundra, Redwood Forests, Spanish highlands was breath taking. Raffle prizes and a casting Olympics were a nice touch. It surely would have been more rounded to have a warm/salt water entry. I will look forward to next years event.
  10. Glad to hear that the rabbits didn't "take a wrong turn at Albuquerque."

  12. The screwy rabbits are in the hands of the USPS. En route to Oswego.
  13. That looks like a big meal! A great offering during high/stained water...
  14. Nice looking bugs! I have some of the same helmets and those 60 deg. hooks. You have inspired me to get out the vise!
  15. A warm thanks to all of our officers and volunteers who helped make the blowout a great event! I am proud to a member of this this organization.
  16. Thanks Rob! Nice job being Tiemeister. A fine showing of creativity by our membership. Can't wait to receive them, see y'all at the Blowout!
  17. I have been free tying the past couple of weeks. This is a simple pattern that looks like a fish catcher. I'm calling it "screwy rabbit"
  18. I will enter "the dirty hippy" a streamer pattern
  19. Hmmm. If I'm betting. I'm going with Seattle. Defense wins championships and the Seahawks are tuned up. Yet I would love to P. Manning get another one.
