Nice carp, Bill!
AMEN to that!
Thanks for the luck wishes, everyone. Alas, I lost! A giant pike took my flashabou streamer on the first day, but came unbuttoned. No more luck after that. My head feels a lot more drafty.
Thanks for the help, everyone. Had my 8 lb. fluoro come unbuttoned at the loop (perfection knot) one time. Switched to 15 lb. mono, never had the problem again.
Hi folks!
Did a little bit of research into carp fare in Nebraska and found that macroinvertebrate biomass appeared to be the most affected by carp populations, with snails being the overwhelming...
Excellent, so after tying that loop, do you just press the loop of the butt end through the fly line loop and pull your leader material through the loop? I guess I'm worried about connection strength.
Hi guys and gals,
Thanks for so much support on my Pike adventure coming in a couple weeks. I've got another problem. I bought some 6W fly line last year, and they put a loop at the end of it. I'm...
The mouse looks good! Similar idea to the Bass Gurgler/Chugger I mentioned. Will try it with deer hair I think!

Ted, this video will explain it better. I tied it with Ace Hardware bead chain, blood red velvet ultra chenille tail, black crystal woolly bugger chenille from BPS and olive rooster saddle hackle.

Tail might be a little short on this one... big shout out to John Montana for making me drool about using this one on some carp. I hope to find some while up in MN, but might be busting it out...
Thanks, Scott! I'll be sure to share pictures.
Ya know, Jim... I'm thinking the same thing. By the way, thanks again for the materials you sent. They are still going strong, and that rabbit has been dynamite for my Dirty Rats.
Headed up to Leech lake on the 19th in Walker MN.
The father-in-law bet me that if I caught a two foot pike on the fly, he would shave his head. I told him if he caught one on regular tackle...
I'm going to take a stab and say it was 1990. Kindergarten at Millville Elementary was going well. Colors, sights, sounds, words, letters and new friends flooded my infantile neural pathways and...
Hey folks!
Looking for info/reviews on Upqua Tyger Tipped Steel Leader. Thinking of grabbing one for a MN excursion for Mr. Pike.

By way of update on the Straight Talk issues we were having, we were surprised to see not only our phones refunded, but our minutes that we purchased as well. Thanks, Straight Talk, for resolving...
Took the two-year-old out to the east side of Lake Cunningham today with a bag of frozen corn and a couple of spinning rods. She caught the biggest of two carp. Fun time out there! Makes for good...
Friends: We purchased StraightTalk service online.
The phones were shipped to us with SIM cards installed. Our port request failed because US Cellular - our current provider - issued a separate...
Looked like I had been fishing with a hairline fracture for a while. A little too much pressure taking it out of the trunk and click... no more tip.
Unofficial end to the fly-fishing season.

Just finished up. Slept in. Went about 130.
I'm reminded of something my wife says on occasion.
"It's called fishing, not catching."
Full Article A Virginia man has caught the largest northern snakehead on record with a rod and reel, landing a 17-pound, 6-ounce specimen of the fish often called "Frankenfish" for their...
Headed out tomorrow to the muck hole early AM. Here's hopin' Dave was right about the cannibalism... but I did see crayfish, so hopefully the Carrots'll draw 'em.
...
Great fish! You know, the muck hole I've been fishing is full of lily pads and I have seen carp fingerlings actually rise out and jump onto a lily pad. It really does look like they are escaping the...
I'm pretty convinced of two very likely possibilities:
1) They congregate in water too shallow to hold a fish big enough to eat them and
2) They can sense a fish nearby.
However, some...
