Ha ha :lol: been there, done that. :lol:
You gotta love those overachievers....
Gramps,
You gotta quit trying to force feed those little guys to make them grow faster, they'll grow up soon enough all on their own! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Terry

Ah,,, the very rare and elusive 'Pygmy Trouts.' I have caught a few too. 8)
My bum shoulder sure likes catching the little fellas.
Hey! A trout is a trout.
No worries about breaking the tippet either. :D

Doug :D P.S. I don't blame you for bragging about it! It is pretty cute!
Those guys are even smaller than what I call "lifters".
And Gramps now I know why you're going to those itty bitty bamboo thingies :wink: .
Doug:
What do you mean cute?
What I didn't mention is that the day I caught that fish; I was suffering from a hangnail and an EXTREME infection of my hand that caused it to swell 10 times its normal size.
That trout was actually 26" long and the fly was a size 6/0 Elk Wing Caddis.
Fortunately the swelling subsided a few days later. I was tired of being called LEFTY by my fishing buddies!

Please don't take any offense to my comment! :( I meant 'cute' in a very proper way! nothing inappropriate.Quote:

Come to think of it! I don't recall EVER seeing a size-6/0 Elk Hair Caddis! Is that particular fly supposed to represent the 'QUEEN' of all Caddisflies?
Thanks,
Ever.
So,
Much!
Doug :D
You need a BIG elk to make a 6/0 caddis!
:D
Is this one big enuf for ya???? :shock:Quote:

Big enough yes....
But...
I scanned over a lot of that site....
It's pathetic....no self respecting hunter.....
Makes me think of Barry Bonds
:evil:
someone should tie a huge version of a elk hair caddis! in like a 3/0 lol with like bucktail or something as a substitute for a long enough wing.
Photo posted is surprising if that site had any integrity. It is the first time I have heard of "High Fence Animals" I have only heard of 'Canned" hunts in Texas.
Hunting is like fishing in that there is a spectrum of hunters, starting with the losers that shoot out of their vehicles to mountain hiking hunters that are true sportsman.

agreed doug, we have heard of guys poching monster bucks around here, but whats the sport in that. last year me and my dad spent a lot of time in the woods and saw some deer, but we did not take any. we both enjoy sitting in the woods with wildlife. i'm still waiting for a big buck to come under my stand, but i will not poach one, or shoot one over bait. i know eventually my day will come when i shoot a monster, i just need to be patient. some guys are pathetic, i think some might even hunt in a zoo if they were aloud...Quote:
