Deerfield/Lincolnshire Illinois area
hambone870 replied to notenuftoys's topic in Fly Fishing Gear & Techniques
I've fished a lot of ponds in the area. Grew up in wheeling and work right there off deerfield and 21. A lot of ponds in the area have good fishing, bass crappie pike and carp if thats your thing. Wanna shot me a pm there's a lot of good bites in the area. -

My first every fly - tied a simple clouser
hambone870 replied to Dave Pamenter's topic in Beginner's Corner
I had just recently watched the video of Lefty tying a deciever and for the hackle tail he would grab a bunch and twist them before cutting away from the group. This was a big time saver for me where as I was fastening them 2 on each side in pairs. It gave his fly a nice bulky tail that looked stellar. Sweet flies guy. I will probably be tying a few of both this weekend. -

I agree its not a must have when fishing for trout but I own the same exact reel for my 3wt and its the nicest fly reel I own. Smooth, quite, good drag...

Thanks gpd4

I love stones and this look quite new for me, thanks for sharing. Is the wing case just a strip of feather from a turkey? Pardon my ignorance I'm new.

What's your favorite Bluegill fly?
hambone870 replied to Tier Gone Mad's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
Poppers and top waters are so much fun. I was teaching my son to fly fish this last year for bluegills and we used a brassie with a bacon tail... We had a good day! Haha. It is a species I admittedly should spend a bit more time targeting.
