Are you packed for the Idaho Fish-In?

3wt rod? 4x tippet? box of October caddis?

I know I left them around here somewhere...

Got my leave slip signed, flies and fishing gear accumulating in a pile on the table over there, CDC being sorted so I can tie as many more Octobers as I can before the trip. That Cabelas 10% off coupon and the $20 rebate in my pocket might turn into a TFO 1wt just for kicks, too.

Ants. Don't forget ants. And that means 5x too. Hmmm.


Maybe a bit bushier this year. Getting squinty.

Just dubbing and CDC? Trout are too smart to be fooled by something like that....

Dennis,
What size hooks you using this year? 10-2XLong?

Packing for Idaho? Not yet. Working on the camper and making large piles? For sure! Will be fishing in Wisconsin, South Dakota, Montana and several places before the Fish In, so my list will be a little larger that yours!

My Kitchen Table is piled high with clothes and other gear for WI, SD, MT, ID, and back!! I have reduced my fly tying stuff from a 32. gal container to a 25 gal. by tying flys out of it for 6 weeks. I have also reduced the size of my Fishing Gear Bag by 50%, just too much junk packed!
Nice looking caddis Dennis and as I GAVE ALL MY CDC TO KABOOM1!! I may have to pick up some more at one of the many Cabela's we will pass on the trip West. Last year I had a Caddis land on my boot that looked just like that!!
I have a Geroge Dickle License plate for the camper as well as some nice bumper stickers to enhance the decor!!

If ya don't use the same kinda CDC that DG uses, the flies don't work at all. So, unless you have CDC from ducks from Colorado mountain lakes your flies won't work. I do understand DG has small packets of said Colorado CDC he might part with for some really good root beer. (Dennis, please send the $10 to my local addressw.)

I tied most of them on #10 standard dry hooks in the past. I would have to see what the pack of hooks I got last fall was. Not enough CDC to tie many, but enough to get me through. I need to shoot bigger ducks. Easy to find CDC for 16s, tough to find for 10s and up.

I need lots of them to keep me going:

QK, if'n ya do that, make him share!

I've got a list of things to pack, not bringing the mobile fly shop this year, so have to think things out.

Steve, I don't know what you're talking about! If you can whip him, you can have whatever it is you're talking about...
