  1. i have been trying for years. it can look like a wacky worm but doesnt wiggle . using a core of mono to keep it somewhat stiff causes the fly to twistand it acts as a hook guard. but im still working on it.
  2. my plan is to catch more than the two smallies i landed in 2016. rich
  3. i also agree that the mono- flourocarbon topic is miss sold to anglers. the no streach factor and sinking abilities far out weigh the clearness aspect. i believe color affects the silhouette that the fish sees and sihouette out ranks color in importance nice topic norm rich mc
  4. i wouldnt get carried away with fancy eyes since they may be partially above water simple t shirt paint eyes is my choice if it was a diver them better eyes for sure rich mc
  5. only thing for fishing was some sebile magic swimmer baits but a pearl mylar ribbon may be schreaded soon and turned into something! rich mc
  6. dan blanton uses large plastic worm binders. large streamers can be placed inside the bags and are easy to see. just dont put them away wet. or you can do what some musky fly anglers do use a styrofoam cooler and have them hang on the inside rich mc
  7. it the fly meant to be fished along the bottom even with the dumbell on the point side? rich mc
  8. cool i didnt know about it thanks
  9. tyers on another board were saying the website was down for a long time and ccg was not available in stores. rob was it deer creek uv glue?

  11. perhaps checking with the fly guides in the area as they may know of some. kyle from black earth or israel dunn rich mc

  13. blue has been a good color last year . has been the best color for the mop flies rich mc
