I'm sure the mackinaws will find them delicious.
Brad Buzzi is a name that comes up on the stripersonline.com forum as a good source for quality tails: http://www.buzfly.com/ Have not purchased from him myself, but looking at his web site, he is...
Scheduled for plant next week.
Did not like the fit of Cocoons (too tight) but I've used Fitovers for years. More comfortable fit, a nice range of sizes depending on how large your glasses are, comes with a case, and with a...
Will not be moving to FB if this is not a joke. Very poor decision.
Perhaps if you have never been to such as show, it might be worth driving an hour or two, but not worth much more than that in my opinion. In its heyday was a great show, but has been slowing dying...
Not sure what the question was, but if Pilots are just the same as the original strain as asserted, than the largest is the lake record set in 1925 of 41 pounds. Supposedly there were fish caught...
When was this fee change implemented? I seem to remember that there was once a nominal charge and I had not realized that this fee had become ridiculous. Have to talk to my club about NOT fishing...
As I remember it, the guys at Tahoe Fly Fishing Outfitters used to occasionally do that drift when the conditions were right. Might want to give the shop a call and see if they done so this year. ...
Frenchman will continue to fish well as long as they plant, and the same is now true for Davis. Very sad how far Davis has declined.
Nice tie, although that "Canadian black" is my least successful color, for whatever reason. Canadian brown on the other hand almost always produces.
I like the idea of a UV coat on the bead,...
Have not been there that time of year, unfortunately, having tried for a bull a few times, but always in the fall. The fly shop in Sisters, the Camp Sherman Store, or Fin and Fire in Redmond would...
While crossing the pass during a winter storm in a Bug is impressive enough, I find it hard to imagine how the heck one throws 25' of lead core on a fiberglass rod a reasonable distance, especially...
Ice:
Why would you think fishing the middle of the column is any different than fishing the bottom? Ultimately if you need as much weight as you describe (must be some fast rivers in your area),...
Perhaps a pegged bead has less chance of being taken deep. Not sure that is the case if you have a very short distance between the hook and bead, but let's just say it is true. It does not remove...
One of my favorite colors too, so this is disappointing news. I had noticed that it has gotten harder to find, now I know why. For what it is worth, I had noticed that the color could vary quite a...
Darian outlined the gist of it. As I understand it, when you shine a UV light on a material and you see it glow, that is UV fluorescence which we see in the visible spectrum. The theory is that...
Hopefully not literally. Having encountered raining shot on the Little Truckee, if you do hunt there better be very careful of where you are shooting. Lot of fishers on the water at all time of the...
Have to wonder about these results. I have both the Outcast pump and the K-Pump and I never use the Outcast pump any more because it is bulky, too slow to inflate, and requires too many attachments...
How do you get a nymph to sink? Do you use beads, weight on the shank, split shot, line weight, or something else? Same idea with tubes -- more than one way to solve a problem. Some like the metal...
There are "drowned" hopper patterns out there for exactly these circumstances. Rick Takahashi, a CO tier I believe, has one in the Umpqua catalog for example: ...
Did this suddenly get hard to find? Perhaps you are looking under the wrong name: http://www.jsflyfishing.com/wapsi-supreme-hair. You can also order direct from the manufacturer: ...
Either Larry or Buff would be excellent choices, but consider that this is for a rod that sells for $190 retail. The blank alone is $99, and that does not include the remaining hardware (cork, reel...
For me anyway, this has always been a tough hatch to catch in CA each season for a host of reasons, but I like dries and nymphs to be #10-12 for the few times I get to fish the drakes. I tend to...
