salty fly

I am pushing it, man I tell ya. Works sucks. Addy please

This fly is for Barred surf perch

I have fished the heck out of this rod for 4 or 5 years or so. the finish is peeling off. It is a name brand, with life time warranty. this is my go to rod, I love this thing, I dont really want to send it in. Can I fix it some how from getting worse?

Love the trash can in the table

Thats the problem with common names, Sempervivum is probley what you guys are talkin about, very cold hardy succlent.

good one!

Looks great, I am going to buld a rod, been wanting to for years. you made sound very eazy. I just might start with a kit too.The best rod I ever had was a 5' 6'' 00 wt. for bush wackin' small free stone creeks in Big Sur, but I busted it two years ago.

Welcome jim

Steve, you just have not evolved yet, thats cool. If everybody liked the same stuff the world would be bland. It is good just to get your hands in the dirt.I bet it is good haveing color after all the snow, it does snow at your place right? you would like my wifes yard(we bolth love plants we split up the yard I get the front she the back) maby I will post some pics, if you guys want. flowers do livein up the day

mike, the plant to the left in the pot is Crokia cotoneaster. The 'cascade' is a dwarf blue cedar.I got it in really sad shape, it is starting to pop out of it, it is gona look cool hanging out of the rocks. The black pine I have been training it for about 15 years or so. Thanks for digin' on my stuff.

This is what eles I do besides fishing stuff and that four letter word, work. I am really In to succlents. Some pics of my little yard's rock garden's Black pine bonsai Cedrus Lebani glacua pendula, rare Cedar I spend most of my time out doors. If I am at home and the sun is up, I will most likey be messin' in the yard

I like to sing a lot when fishing

Tie on about 3 hook eye back.I am use TMC 811s #4 hooks Dazel-eyes black 7/32, Take three pices of kystal flash, half it, tie in. Three silli legs, again half it tie in. I use a dub brush on this fly but you can use a dub loop. Wrap the dub brush forward to eyes comb out dubbing Tie in marabou under wing With two pices of flash tie over the wing.Wrap dubbing brush around eyes and comb out. Tie in two sili legs half them tie rearward over eyes. with a saddle hackle or schlappen, thats is what i use for this color. Plamer forward while pulling the fibers back.wrap to hook eye. Whip finish and trim flash and legs.Brush out and blend dubbing wing and hackle. I did an sand crab color one My surf fly The Chewy, fish like to chew them up and it is hairy like Chewbacca.
