Re: best crappie fly ?

I'll have to give that one a look. I haven't had any time to tie this semester. It will be good to get to a bench.

Re: I have found Nirvana!

Bluegills (and LM bass) are my bread and butter fish. Trout are my favorite, but are 3-4 hours away and require vacation time and budget money. Bluegills and bass, however, are within walking...

Re: 10 pages anbd a project away from freedom!

Oh, yes. Talked about alot of it in class. This course has had less emphasis on the military side than many course, though. It brought out more of the tensions between Catholic New France and...

Re: Dear God, this guy was lucky!

As you say, out of the water! Here in Kansas we get nasty T-storms all the time.

Re: Dear God, this guy was lucky!

Wow!

Be careful, folks!

This is one area I've seen stupidity come out in flyfishermen. Thunder starts rumbling and people still insist on standing around in water waving a long pole in the...

Re: Nymphs for smallmouth bass?

Here's something you can try, based on the Huron river anglers I mentioned earlier. They swear by Chernobyl Ants for those smallies up there. Maybe tie one on and a stonefly nymph on a dropper. A...

Re: Nymphs for smallmouth bass?

On the huron river of Michigan, they go after hexagenias, including the nymphs. They get good hatches.

There is a website and board with...

Re: Little tricks to share

I tie a caddis imitiation with a piece of foam for the wing/head. I don't know how sophisticated trout would treat it, but it catches stockers and bluegills with ease. Great floatation, so it makes a...

Re: If you could be air-dropped to fish anywhere in America....

Yellowstone.

Now, that assumes the air drop includes at least a parachute or some other means of soft landing. If not, next to a local bluegill pond is a shopping center that has a "Mattress...
