No, not yet. But after John Scott's "pine squirrel cheater" I may have to. :-)

Thanks! I will try that!

Largemouth bass are the primary fish around here. Yeah, I had thought maybe it needed weight to get it lower in the water column, but now that I think about it I think I would fish it skittering...

I actually tied down the zonker strip about halfway back on the shank and it took 2-3 wraps to get to the head area. The skin is pretty thick, so you can't really let the turns overlap, you just have...

Alright Icemanxxxv - what's the theme for March?

Mine went in the mail today!

Chris's and mine are all tied! Working on the toe tags now and will be in the mail on Monday!

How long was the fly? And do you remember approximately what size hook it was tied on?

Karli-Rae

I'd be up for a white over red swap! lol

This live videofeed of a wild bald eagles' nest is actually only a few miles from my home. I have seen...

Branhap,

I received your flies. I will send them along to gigmaster with Christopher's and my swap flies- so you won't need to send a self-addressed envelope with your flies this month, I'll just...
