I suspect that pond has an abundance of 12-15" bass, Rick. Correct?

Nice work, Lotech. I really like your color choices for the wraps.

Never pass up an opportunity to fish on days that end in the letter "y."

It's great that you're enjoying time with your little brother. My "little brother" turns 55 tomorrow, and, as luck would have it, we've spent most of our adult lives at least two time zones apart. ...

Not with paralysis, Jesse, but many of the kids we've taken fishing from our school's special education class have multiple physical handicaps. Be prepared for a lot of smiles and giggling (among...

Buddy, I don't know about tackle sales, bait sales or "report on water usage," but you are absolutely wrong about fishing license sales being "up." That's not true nationally, and that's not true in...

I picked up a sweet old South Bend model 59-9 bamboo rod last weekend at a swap meet. Several hours of internet reseach since then has produced some interesting information on the rod (i.e. a "bass...

Now I think he was referring to larger hooks than the ones we typically tie, but a state fisheries biologist I know says barbless hooks aren't always the way to go because the lack of the barb can...

I love my 5-wt. Sage and my 3-wt. TFO. If I had it to do over again, I'd buy the same rods. But I'd be equally happy with a 5-wt. TFO and a 3-wt. Sage. Fly rods are like peanuts; you can't stop...

I posed a similar question to one of our state's fisheries biologists last year. He told me that when walleye in our eastern Nebraska impoundments finish spawning along the rocky dam faces in the...

Unlike the museum- or art-gallery-quality flies routinely featured in FAOL, many of the flies I have created in my first year of fly tying are decidedly lop-sided. (I prefer the term asymetrical. :D...

I smell a new FOTW...the low-budget "WouldYouLikeFriesWithThat" Fly. :D

I think Doublewide is on the right track, but then again I'm often outsmarted by a creature with an IQ of 3...

I like the twist this thread has taken.

Now, as you all know, every worthwhile trend begins in Nebraska and spreads from here to both borders and coasts. (Some, like our Unicameral...

Allow me to "second" Don's compliments to Ward. Great evening.

Among the many tips I picked up watching Ward, and certainly one worth sharing, was the "gadget" he used in place of hackle pliers....

Super Bowel?

Do you suppose they'll have illustrations in the next Journal of Gastroenterology? :shock:

This reminds me of the old joke where an American girl, an English girl, and a French girl were each asked what they would do if they were stranded on a desert island with 1,000 soldiers. When it...

I don't know about trolling, but I'll tell you this: I put on my boxer shorts left leg first. Anyone who puts his on right-leg first is doing it wrong and probably is a low-class boor. At the very...

Seven friends on the gift receiving list so far (furled leaders fit so nicely in Christmas cards :lol: ). I even made a few out of 1# red Cajun ice-fishing line this month because they look so...

Welcome to Omaha. :lol:

I understand the part about dunking the guides in cold water, but then what do you do with their clients?
Oops! Wrong thread. ;)

Now you've piqued my curiosity. Please post a follow-up next week and let us know how many flies you got out of one elk. :lol:

Thank you, guys, for the advice and suggestions (and the caution about gators! :lol: ).

Oscar sounds like someone I'd enjoy meeting.
