Hi Thursthouse how have you been, haven't had chance to talk to you follows for a while. Salmon fly material does't have to cost you a months pay check to make good looking flies. Get the recipe for the fly you want to ty and then go on line and find a picture of the fly and print it of. I have...

The time spent on the bank is more forfilling than catching a 2lb brooky on a dry fly. the people I have met because of fly fishing a countless and all are of the best quality. This is why I enjoy this forum so much. Have a good one!

You can bet your last penny that if there is a hatch on there are fish feeding some where in the water column , if they are not taking the adults they are feeding on the nymphs. I would rather fish the dry flies but if they are not feeding on the top get into the game and fish the bottom with...

Rustyspinner, I think you are the real winner here, what you are doing is a great deed for this young fellow. You are one of the reason I enjoy the out doors so much. I love taking young people as well as people out that don't have the chance to go hunting or fishing because they don't have...

Trusthouse, when I was doing a lot of salmon fishing I always kept a log book that was supplied to me by the Department of Natural Resources which included water temp., air temp., weather, water level, fish movement, fish retained, fish released, number of hours fished, pools fished and the time...

Looks like beaver is more into dragging then fishing.

Thursthouse, do you pluck your ducks or skin them, skinning them is a lot easier and quicker. Never tried baking them wrapped in bacon but it sounds good. I still have a goose in the freezer I am going to try the bacon wrap. I use wood duck for may fly wings buy all the wood ducks I have shot...

I guess that why we spend so much and time trying to out smart them. Ha Ha Ha

Thanks, Brk Trt

Have ever seen a big fish raising and you could not get it to take your presentation, fish are smarter than you think.

What size hook do you use for this fly and do you use different colors for different time of year.

nice to see the bare ground, looks like you had a good day fishing.

I us Fenwick double tapered lines on all my rods except a Fenwick sinking line for shad. I have always used Maxima leader from 12 lb down to 4 lb. I tie my own tapered leaders for trout starting with 2 feet of 8 lb and 2 feet of 6 lb and finishing with 3 to 4 feet of 4 lb depending on what...

Biting it off just don't work for some of us with Falsies. It used to be my method of choice but not now.

Nice fishing, we don't have pike here but the chain pickerel are giving us some pretty good fishing when we can get to the water, after the ice and snow is gone.

In some areas stockies are all that left, so if your catching fish the fishing is good.
