So far the wind has been biting more than anything else...
When going to pick out the hairs mask another thing (beyond what has been mentioned) that you should pay attention to is the length of the hairs on the mask. If it was harvested during the colder...
Very nice. How well do the outriggers work?
Thanks again for the tips. I hope to get down that way in February or March for a week of fishing while my wife is doing the three S's...Swimming, sunbathing, and shopping. Even for us Northerners...
I love seeing the photo's you are posting of these fish and the Peacock bass. Great reports.
I moved down to Georgia this year just outside of Atlanta and am considering strongly a trip down to...
Ok, so are there places along the GA coast that would qualify as decent for waiding?
Sculpin usually live near or on the bottom. Fishing these with the sink tip line close to the bottom is an idea way to fish these. I love cone head and bead head fly's. They fish great and catch...
If you are sitting at the fly tying bench drawing a blank but feel the need to make something maybe you need to take that blank and make yourself a new flyrod....
I have had alot of success with the following:
Cone/bead head egg sucking leach - Especially with a spinner blade in front of the cone or bead.
Egg patterns: of course.
Crawfish patterns -...
My favorite color combo would be minnow gray tail, rainbow sparcle chinnelle, dun colored hackle though sometimes I will use different color hackles. I often use other colors but that combo is a...
I'm glad you were able to get it and that you are happy with it. I would have gotten one myself, was sorely tempted, but as I just moved for my company and currently am selling one house while I...
If you want a ministudio for photographing fly's nows the time. Go to http://www.1saleaday.com/ and they have a ministudio for just $14.99. Only good until midnight tonight, May 13, 09. Looks like...
My favorite fly is any bright color fly with either a cone or bead on the front to get it down or a tiny spinner blade on the front. These fish often react to vibration or noise more than color so...
I would have to second the streamer suggested earlier. Well, does not have to be that exact streamer, but the right streamer pattern should get you some of these fish. Watch the water to try to...
Sorry to say, Crazy Charlies are not the same as a clouser. If you look at Flyster101's fly's, which look great, you will see that the lead eyes are tied in at about the one third length back from...
Personally, I think Mustad is OK but I like others more. Dai Riki and Tiemco are my preferred hooks. Mustad makes good hooks too when they are available in the same style and size, but often they...
You can also use lead eyes on the bonefish buggers with good reactions. They add the benefit of a hook up presentation so are a good substitute for the cone heads....
I tie and fish probably 20-30 patterns regularly. This is more because I fish a large variety of fish and find some patterns work better than others for certain fish. I fish Walleye, Small Mouth...
I've caught alot of Steelhead but I don't think I have caught any that were nearly fourty inches long. My hat's off to LF for catching one that size.

I would be one of those in the 16-16 club for salmon and Brown trout. I caught both in a single day last year when I was doing very good with a size 16 Bead Head Wooly bugger like fly (rabbit hair...
The only technique I could think of where this fly would fail would be fishing it with a fly rod on the ice. Too hard to hit that little hole with a cast and the thing won't sink far enough for the...
Correct, to a degree. Hole closest to hook would be used for larger hooks (such as 3/0+) as it drops the jaws farther from the axis of rotation, middle hole for most hooks, and bottom (closest to...
I love the photo setup but I really think I would need something less elaborite. It seems that one allows a person to see all the details in a fly, and with my fly tying skills, I really need some...
I will not tell you what make/model to get but will drum in with a big 'Get One'. Get the mapping software as well. And last, get a good sized memory card to load maps onto the GPS. With a GPS and...
