Good luck Walter!
Seems wrong to me...
I was fishing on the missouri and they were big fish. I was using 4X tippet and size 16 mustad hooks. I will attempt to be more gentle but it is tough when I am used to big smallies and 12# tippet.
I am using mustad 94840. Maybe I should switch to tiemco??
Does anyone have recommendations for a stronger dry fly hook. I have been using standard dry fly hooks. When fishing in MT, I often lose large fish because the hook bends, either during the hook...
I took my wife to a local lake to fish for crappies today. As I have for several years, the first fly I tie on is a "Crappie Candy". I caught several crappie and a largemouth bass. I like to fish...
Pretty fly! You've got skills.
My favorite smallie fly is a chartreuse wooley bugger tied on a 1/0 mustad 3366. I also like poppers, sliders, and clouser minnows.

Thanks Rick!
Beautiful tie!
I fish mostly the st croix and upper mississippi. I use a 7 wt rod. I do think anywhere from a 6 wt to 8 wt will work fine. I use a bass taper floating line. You can use a general taper floating...
redington rs2 - one 5/6 wt, three 7/8 wt, and one 9/10 wt. I think they are about the best compromise between quality and price. You can pay "much more" but you won't get "much more" reel. Medium...
Enjoyed the essay - thanks!

Thanks! Made my day.
Nice popping bug!
My wife and I got out for some crappie fishing on mother's day. I was fishing an Al Campbell pattern - crappie candy. It made me think back to meeting Al at the Rapid City Scheels store in the late...
I wouldn't think any of this lead ban talk would bother us. Upstream and dry! Are you guys worm dunkers or what?
Nice crappie! Makes me hungry...
My favorite smallie fly is a chartreuse wooley bugger. I tie them big. 1/0 3366 mustad hook. Wrapped with 0.030 lead wire. I used to tie them on a size 4 streamer hook but I like the wider hook...
I have wasted a good deal of my life chasing smallies with a fly rod and wouldn't have it any other way. My favorite way to fish is topwater - poppers or sliders. That said, I have caught the most...
One evening I was fishing the gallatin river with my son and his friend. We were spaced out about 20 yards apart. A guide with a client comes up to me and asks if he can fish between me and my son's...
Hartwick Pines is a beautiful place. Those huge white pines are incredible. Have a great time!
For SMB, I like wooley buggers in chartreuse or white. I tie them on a mustad 3366, size 1/0. I use two marabou for the tail and large ice chenile for the body. I give each fly 8-10 wraps of 0.030...
