That sounds like a grand old southern fly fishing method my Granddad would use, we called it dapping for bass.

How old are you again? :)

Nice fly! I really like that! Could you do a FOTM? I need to tie a half dozen of those in cream and brown for the gulf, they look like a good crab imitation.

Robin, I hope to get over there during the Christmas break, I plan on using my spey rod and a sinking leader.

My vote for most fatiguing (I'm including mental fatigue (getting bored) as well as physical exertion) style of fishing would be:

1st) Streamer fishing (more cast and you need to strip all they...

Tie them on tube flies to escape the pike's teeth.

Maybe a really long crackleback?

I (and many many trout around these parts) LOVE Hans' IOBO Humpy. It's one of the deadliest dries I've ever fished.

THANKS Hans for...

Mr. Castwell,

No worries and thanks! :D :D

Hi fpcba, This was brought up over on the main board:

Gene, I think that hook size might be left over from last weeks fly. The size should read: Hook: Dry Fly hook 20-26

I use a film canister to store my albolene as well as my Fuller's Earth mixture.

Great paint job! It looks very nice. Are you using Mustad 3366 hooks and the slip on foam popper bodies??

The woven fly looks amazing as does Davy's sets.

I have a few of Al Campbell's flies as well as Jim Hatch. All I need now is some of Oliver Edwards' and I'm all set.

Jared ask around the base, back when I use to guide a few years ago I know that groups of soldiers out of Lawton would visited the Lower Mountain Fork River every few months for fly fishing trips. ...

I like your new flies JJ and I hope '76 isn't considered vintage yet because I may be well past my prime now! The hackle I used was plain 'ol Med Light Dun Hen Neck hackle. I find it perfect for...

Good lookin' flies! :D

The hooks look close to the size of a TMC 20s to me but they're bronze. Here is a size 20 soft hackle on a TMC I just tied up:...

Perch and bream are the most common name for them in Oklahoma

I believe in luck. When I take a stream sample or catch an emerging insect, look at a rise and select the proper fly, all I'm doing is hedging my bet that I might catch a trout.

To me, if you...
