Jared,
Try this link for Bass lures: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20204
When I see a lure name I don't recognize, I just google it and can usually find tips on how to fish it!
Good luck,

I'll send you a PM. I live in the area, and was out at the Wichita Mountain Refuge till about an hour ago (wind was terrible). Lots of perch and bass, if you're interested in trout someone...
I'm fairly new to the site as well, but I'm glad you and your son are starting to fly-fish. I'm from MO (originally), and fished a "Wal-Mart Special" for over twenty years. The SA setup is from...
I will personally recommend "Bag Balm". No this isn't a joke, it was originally made for cattle. The stuff is great for dryed and chapped skin (all places), and I love it. It's available at many...
Thanks for the advice. December is the only time I will have available for the next 6 months or so. I only go out to see the in-laws, so I try to space the visits out as much as possible :lol: ;...
Looking for wisdom - I'm heading to Denver, CO for Christmas and would like to try FFing for trout. I cast okay, and roll-cast well, but know nothing about trout (always fished for perch/bass). I...
In the "Under $40" category - I bought a Hobbs Creek reel a couple days ago for $39.99. I do follow the "line-holder" theory, so I chose to go cheap on the reel and buy a better line. If you have to...
I thought it was mine, but apparently I was wrong...
Well, there's a first time for every thing.

I really enjoyed reading everyones comments! I put down the spinning gear, and started fly fishing again for the same reason I am buying a 45-70 Sharps (built on an original action). I could kill...
Duckster - Let us know what you find out. I know I'm curious.
It was a short-nose gar. Water was warm, but muddy (rained last night).
Guess I'll try and catch another.
Thanks,
John
I was out fishing a muddy creek last night, and saw a gar cruising top-water. After a couple casts with a small yellow popper, he took it, and I knew the fight was on...
... but it wasn't. This...
Gemrod,
On your Photobucket page, copy the link (highlight it and hit the Control and "c" buttons at the same time), then on your post when you hit the "IMG" button just put the cursor between the...
I've used a fly rod for many years, but always for bass and perch (MO and OK). I will be heading out to Colorado in late December, and I'm wondering if there is still good trout fishing that time of...
Anytime of the year, perch are the most fun! I enjoy smallmouth, but for consistent bites, and scrappy fish, it's perch all day long.
Crappiecat,
You are right, that pic was taken at the WM Wildlife Refuge. If anybody else lives in the beautiful state of OK, send me a PM and we'll go fishing!
John
btw Jeff, those pics (of...
Try to ignore that monster perch. Just enjoy the beautiful scenery that OK has to offer.

Thanks, folks!
All,
I'm fairly computer literate, but can't figure out how to post photos. Can someone help?
Thanks,
John
Any Okies, please reply.
Do you have to register a yak, even if it won't be powered (other than by hand)?
Thanks,
John
Wayneb,
I don't consider myself an expert, but I'll tell you what worked for me last night... I use my left hand as a "reel" (see post on "Finger-Reeling" for explanation) to control the slack,...
Thanks for the help!!
No pics, but I caught a 14" SMB tonight, and had two others on that I lost. One threw the hook about 3 feet from shore, and the other snapped my leader! I was stripping the...
I want to thank everyone for their advice. I've been looking at the Flyfishing 101 (I thought I had at least an Associates Degree), and found a very clear explanation of what I have called...
Gemrod,
Yes, exactly.
So... If finger-reeling won't work (It didn't the other night), what is the proper procedure for using a reel on a fly-rod?
When strip-whatevering a streamer, do I...
I grew up catching perch on poppin' bugs, fishing small creeks and ponds. I recently started fishing for bass, and need advice on handling monsters... I always used a "finger-reel" instead of the...
