Clousers, wolly buggers, rattle rousers, bend backs and spoon flies work well. One key to getting a hook set in a flounder is not to set the hook until you have taken up all the slack line (slowly)...

Comment and a little bit of advice...when you first look at this pattern, you might get the idea that it's a difficult fly to tie but it's not, it's Cordell's humor and some handy tips. What I found...

Redfish on poppers are great. The key is to strike when you feel this fish, not when you see the strike. My favorite is a fly developed by Capt. Scott Sparrow for reds down in the Laguna Madre called...

In 2009, with things as they were, I decided not to take a vacation and fished locally. But, I told my wife that in 2010,...

Dupre' Spoon flies are good to have in your box as are small foam poppers and bend back / rattle rousers.

Good luck, Chris

Live on the south side of Houston, TX. Nowadays, I fish the flats primarily for trout and redfish but, in the summer I'll go out past the breakers for tarpon, jacks, kingfish, tuna and anything else...

Watching the video. Kewl, a little tight, but still kewl. I brought back a similar situation from last summer when I was fishing the Chandeleur Islands, off Louisiana. We were drifting in about 6 ft...

Beautiful fish, Bob.

Good deal, JC!

I quit back in August '95. I was doing a pack / pack and a half a day of cowboy killers. Then, after a hard day's fishing offshore, fileting a mess of dolphin and helping my friend...

I hope Gustav didn't put an end to that for this year.

When I go in for my annual, for some reason, the tests are run over the course of two days. I try to get them to take all the blood at one time, since I'm already plugged in, but since it takes 2...

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll remember him and the family in my prayers. I never got to meet Ed face to face, but I visited with him over the phone enough, when enquiring on his "specials", that I...

If you can plan a few days away while you are in Biloxi, you might want to try and book a mothership trip to the Chandeleurs or, later in the fall, the marsh. I've fished with Capt. Troy Fountain...

Tight lines, Chris

Y'know, even at that size, you can see what makes that fish special. Nice shots and pretty fish.

Tight lines, Chris

I never leave home with out them...fishing or not. Thanks, Chris

I'll be fishing Marco Island the first week in June and I'll certainly have some in my box. Any other advice you might want to pass along...I can keep a secret.

Tight lines, Chris

Squeeze a drop of yellow, red or silver / gray for the iris and a smaller drop of black for the...
