I like that idea. Unconventional. Although I'm likely to use all my shoelaces and not have any shoes to wear if it works, heh. All of my ceilling fans are stuck on high because I used all the bead...

hard-hackle worm is the link i threw up there on my last edit, heh. got a few tied up already. Its fall break at my college, so tomorrow I'm gonna be out on the lake with em. I have confidence in...
Well that just sucks. I think I figured out what I'm doing wrong though. I'm thinking too much like a tackle fisher, fishing too fast and with too much weight. Thats the ticket!
To the tying bench!
ok I'll check out search. If anyone has anything to add, I'd appreciate it.
-edit-
search turned up http://www.flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw2/103105fotw.html

Topic says it all. I've been plying the lakes by some of my families' property, and I've thrown everything in my arsenal at these bass. Only pick up the occasional straggler. Meanwhile, my brother...
I had this exact same experience earlier today.
ah. well. there it is. ha
the only thing is though on one pond in particular since winter broke ive slammed all species with divers. Until today, that is. Seems strange that the fish fed more...
So I finally got some free time from school and other obligations to spend alot of time on the water.
Turned out to be one of those days where you really have to tease the panfish up. All the fish...
Is the weighted head a crucial part of the clouser pattern? I tie alot of clousers for sacalait but like to fish them unweighted, suspended under the surface, and just sub in plastic beads or a lump...
like someone above said, never had any luck with adult patterns fished on the surface. nymphs do really well. For the truly lazy, olive buggers work very well at imitating nymphs. i spent a day on...
ok, to clarify a bit.
yeah, the figure-eight is typically how i tie them on. But I usually go for a swept-back leg, and most of the time some type of body wrap (marabou, chenille, dub, whatever)...
white wooly bugger. floating line. 2 bb-shot 3 feet up tippet from fly. let it hit the bottom, then bounce it and bounce it. only works in shallower waters, but usually produces cats for me. I think...
a thin superglue layer over the hair has never failed me. The deerhair obtains more of a cork or balsa like quality from this, and makes a hell of alot more noise. Just personal preference though,...
at the very least, compile all of them into one post, then see if a forum mod can 'sticky' it to the top of the forum. IDK about these forums, but others I use have a moderator-controlled ability to...
I regularly throw 1/0 and larger deer hair/foam bugs with my 4 weight into headwinds. I can also chunk those heavy streamers with the giant dumbbell heads a pretty good distance too; it just comes...
Alright, I've been tying flies since I was 14. I've mastered spun deer hair, can tie spey's with ease, woven bodies, all the good stuff.
But I can never seem to get those stupid rubber legs to...
