A few years back I read about teaching fly casting to school students. Can someone help me out with finding the thread or link to this? Next year I will be working with TU and doing the Trout in...
Tried as I might I could not get the wrapped foam to stay. Cool pattern though.
Tying these up for a friend who is heading to Yellowstone in a couple of weeks. Will have to make a couple for myself too! Very cool pattern.
What does SHHAN stand for?
Very neat! I wonder why more people don't keep native fish in the aquarium. Many compete with tropical fish with colors.
Not sure how I could get away with teaching fishing. Might have to give it a try though!
Thanks again for all the help! Looks like we might not be staying a whole week anymore due to the cost of housing while we are there. Might cut into my fishing time or cut it right out. If I can...
The details are not set in stone yet. We should be there for about a week, give or take a couple of days. I am hoping to pull at least a day trip fishing somewhere while we are out there. It would...
I will be coming into the area near the end of June for about a week for a wedding. What type of fishing option do I have?
Full batch. The bottom is one that I tied a few years ago. The guy I tied them for is rigging them with a spinner and throwing them with a spinning rod for coster brookies in MI....
Do you have any pictures?
When the water cools the fish don't feed on top as much. Try a squirmy wormie or egg pattern on the DH streams.
Here is my take on it. I was thinking of a large worm. Only fished the "fly" once. It could be cast with my 4/5 wt rod and 5 wt DT line. Had a nice brook come up and take a look at it. My method...
First, thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Here is try #2. I think it turned out a lot better than #1. It shaped up easier because the hair was much tighter. I didn't cut the hair this this...
Lessons learned:
1. Don't pull so hard that you break the Kevlar thread(it makes a mess of things).
2. Don't pull so hard that you cut the stacked hair for a color spot (it makes a mess of...
Fly Goddess - Nice ties! I plan to fish this on an intermediate sink line. I have a full sink but I haven't spooled it up because I would have to get pull of my float or the intermediate line.

Here is a parts list.
Hook: Gamakatsu B10S size 1/0
Thread: Ultra Thread 140 white (doesn't matter)
Flash: Copper Krystal Flash
Upper Tail: Tiger Barred Rabbit strip: Black/Orange over...
Thinking bass and maybe muskie on this. What do you think?

I really like my Griffin Mongoose. Not sure what you have for a Griffin now.
Trout and Smallmouth? Do you get into any pike?
Didn't see a single carp in shallow on the northern MI lakes we fished. I think I need to find a way to make the trip around the first of June.
Sweet fish! I hope to find some big carp and sm in shallow when I head to MI soon.
I have glanced at the magazine a few times. Never very close though. If you like the Wedding Veil fly you should check out the guys facebook page. Carolina Fly
I forgot about the pull it backwards with string method. If/when there is a next time I might have to use that. Seem to have some bruising around the area today but no swelling or anything else.
"Happy Hooker" happens to the the name of a fishing shop between Toledo and Cleveland. Need to get a picture of it sometime but always seem to pass it in the dark.
