    recently on a black friday special i ordered some new bernat velvet chenille. this stuff will make great buggers, bodies on crappie jigs. unfortunatelyit doesnt furl so nicely . you may find it at joannns, michaels stores. 350 yards for about 10 bucks. also picked up some spinella eyelash yarn this stuff is perfect for furling , and making ned rig type jigs but furl two strand together for the tail. it come s in a cake form roll with 5 colors in each cake . all this in time for the indoortying season
  4. the jdm rods are talked about alot on crappie.com on the bream panfish forum
  5. withe the high cost of the flies i wouldrather buy a lucky craft or whopper plopper
  6. so how life like do flies have to be ? anglers have been fly fishing using what is available for years and caught fish .
  7. ok we got about 6inches of snow here in lee, and its 10pm and still piling up. its a report anyhow
  8. so those that seen him at the show and at orvis on monday any comments on his style ? i didnt talk with him long but his latest fly which is like the hollow fly, is tied on small tubes on a wire core. very clever and so sparse . his beast fly was about 10 inches long .
  9. THANK YOU to John for 10 years of running this show . you have done an excellent job
  10. my grandson cant wait to do mop fly demos. i will also be doing tying demos on my version of the dragontail style of fly. depending on how it is trimmed it makes a leech or baitfish pattern. it also works good tied on a chatterbait or jig head for you spinning gear fans. see you there rich
  11. bob clousers book is great for beginners. try to hookup with some central illinois bassbuggers they meet in the winter. the isa fly show is great for watching tyers tie but is a few hours away. rich
  12. any pointers or tips on using them? are they mostly a cold water bait? i have been tying furled tails on them with results on lm bass in the ponds
  13. i would suggest liquid fusion from a craft store
  14. was a good turnout but the numbers were low 13 muskies , one huge striper some walleyes and a bunch of catfish good show of ISA anglers including pete plauch. still a nice outing rich
  15. yes i plan to be there about 3 30 to work on the upper spillway barrier . waders are good, big net if you have one. thanks rich
  16. its been approved 4 30 -5pm fish handling gloves are good too. rich
  17. new tentative date is for tuesday july 3rd 4 30-5 just waiting for one more approval
  18. its been cancelled i will post when a new date is set. john we normally park in the lot closest the dam and walk the dike to the spillway. we also get a few pickups that can shuttle people
  19. i just heard it may be cancelled if we get a big rain that they are predicting . iwill post tuesday evening if its on or offf
  20. rescue below the spillway is set for this wednesday 4 30-5pm whenever we have enough bodies to cover the creek. bring waders or wet wade and a good sized net . we expect about 50 muskies and some big stripers. those coming from the east post up and ride together rich
  21. was in bass pro yesterday. they[bps] now make a double plopper with a rotating fin in the front and bass . it would be noisy but would be harder to walk the dog rich
  22. did kevin dells come back to town?
  23. luckily the heat kept the numbers down. mark,mike,forrest and craig and i made for the smallest amount of workers we ever had there. all worked out fine and the hot corn and subway sandwiches topped off the fun teh kids had. this cold one is for you SgtTommy !
