  5. Kelly Congratulations on the upcoming retirement. You have some great activities to keep you going. Hope you post many great fish and flies. You will find the site has terrific people, who are very supportive.
  6. Each year for the past 10+ years I have been making musky lures and give them to our Chapter’s qualifying high school’s event and the High School Musky State Tournament. This year each lure had two 7/0 treble hooks and a 10 and a 9 blade. Just finished building 60 and will give them to the event coordinators.
  7. Bruce, Great flies. Beautiful job of packing and trimming.
  8. Well done Nick! I am having problems in coming up with the words, but this swap exists because of your leadership and vision. Tom
  9. I put the stuff in the mail yesterday. It says that you should get it on Monday.
  10. DFoster Nice job on those fuzzy midges. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the fish you catch on them.
  11. Steve, Beautiful work! I look at them and start to get thoughts.
  12. Welcome to the site. Post them up as you tie them.
  13. It’s always sad to put away the rods till next spring. It was 80 on Tuesday, but fell to 50 on Wednesday for a float on the St Croix. Unlike many of the trips that are catching, this one was fishing. The rain and the wind were minimal. We fished rock, sand, weeds, trees, shallow, and deep. We had a swing and a miss from a little pike and a small musky at the boat. Seven hours of throwing the 12 weight, with wet loading a large articulated fly half of the time. All was not lost however. The boat spooked a pair of Trumpeter Swans, who did a big circle around us. We also saw 5 deer, 2 large flocks of turkeys, a bunch of sandhill cranes, and various ducks. All in all a good day and pleased I could wetload that fly for as long as I did. Now I am wishing I could get out once more.
  14. Poopdeck That is really an elegant fly!
  15. Norm, That is a very generous offer and a great opportunity for 20 people. Those will be flies they treasure. Tom
  16. Nick, I will send you a box of trout flies I no longer can use. You decide what you want to do with them. I do not want a box in return. If I can put together some materials, I will also send them. I have a number of hanks of four inch pieces of Flashabou, which would be good for a number of applications. Should I send them to you? They come in a wide range of colors. Thanks for doing this again. Tom
  17. Fishing started last Monday. So much wind we stayed in our bay and caught walleyes. Tuesday was a musky day. No followers and no hits. Wednesday wind came down a little as we caught smallies on Lindy rigs. Thursday caught some more SMB and took out my flyrod and put on a Murdich Minnow. The wind was down and the weather was great on the first cast. By the third cast the wind came up with a vengeance. The flyrod got put away. Some pictures of the fish.
