Bill, doing bone fish and GT flies for the tropic's. Also getting ready for Baja 2021 and my favorite species DA PEZ GALLO.

I know it's unrelated,but who else here thinks Jay has the coolest mustache!

[Jay Murakoshi]

It could be disappearing soon. I might try a goatee, lol

[DLJeff]

Hippy! Fu's and goatees are in the past. You should shave all the hair off one side of your head, gel the rest so it stands up in spikes, and dye the tips chartreuse green...because if it ain't chartreuse it ain't no use.

[Jay Murakoshi]

When I'm on my last leg, I might do that. I will also get my tattoo's I've always wanted. A rooster fish on my left arm and a dorado on my right arm.

A friend has a nice big Rainbow trout on his shoulder that you can't see unless he has on a tank top or no shirt.



When I was a kid in the 1950s the only tattoos we ever saw were "USMC" or "USN" on guys who were in World War II.


Not sure what tattoo I would want? Maybe "Boca Grande".................?

[Bob Smith]

I can vouch for Carl's salmon flies - they are well tied, reasonably priced and chinook salmon eat them! Thanks Carl!

[Bill Kiene semi-retired]

One of Carl's other backgrounds is fly fishing the Russian river and other coastal Nor Cal rivers.

He has fished the Chetco and the lower Rogue river for Kings too.



He has good "tide water" salmon and steelhead flies.

Thank you Mr Smith....I have a couple hundred Salmon/Steelhead flies i would love to sell real cheap...perhaps send me a private message

Some years back, over 20, Lance and Lincoln Gray had a commercial fly tying business that specializes in saltwater patterns.

For fly shops, guides and fly fishing lodges they would tie up special custom saltwater flies that no one else was tying.

One fly I remember was the "Raghead Crab" by Jan Isely on Ascension Bay, Mexico.


I think they now tie special patterns for the Hex hatch on Lake Almanor and other flies as well.
