What's crazy is the thought of you fishing that thing :bugeyes: Awsome show fly :headbang:

We get incidental smallies and even stray trout (from trout farms that get flooded) and there is a nice population of Lake Sturgeon. I have hook a couple of Sturgeon but never landed one (or had a fight last very long)

In THIS thread I was giving a report on a recent outing to the Red River north of Winnipeg So For DAY5 (and anyothers) here are some of the flies used. Stouts Tail in White Marabou Steamer Grey over Yellow Stu Thompsons Easter Egg Bugger. Coupla weird looking zonkers of my own. As stated the water is quite discoloured and visability is the key. I figure I could use any fly that is white or light in colour and get fish.

Are you in St. John's?

Thanks guys. I have done nymphs with the foam back and when they get water logged they sometimes become neutral but anything with deer hair floats. The quest continues. Rapala tank tests their lures...maybe I should too.

Making them sink or float is easy but any tips on making them neutral?

QUOTE (rougetrout @ Aug 11 2004, 10:25 AM) I would love to try catching walleye on the fly rod. My wife and I just moved the east side of Michigan (from the west side) and there are some rivers around here that are supposed to have early year walleye runs...I will have to try. Any fly suggestions for walleye? A real simple idea is try running a mikey fin (or bait fish pattern that matches the local forage) through the riffles for those moving water walleyes holding like trout.

As a new Manitoban (5th season) I have caught: Pike Walleye Sauger Yellow Perch Smallmouth White Bass Channel Cats Carp White and Red horse suckers Goldeye Ciscoes (as well as chub and assorted other unimportant bait fish) Freshwater Drum Artic Char Brown/Brook/rainbow trout as well as splake and spar But have yet to get: Mooneye, Lake Whitefish, Bullheads, Burbot. As a transplanted Ontarian I can add: Steelhead chinook and coho salmon rock bass largemouth bass pumkin seed blue gills green eared sun fish crappie as well as wild versions of the stocked trout i catch now in Manitoba I would like to get White fish, Lakers and Muskie.

I can attest to the effectiveness of his purple/yellow crayfish (and it works for the carp too)

Ya it is a sinking ghost tip. That fish took a streamer but outside of mullberries, cotton wood and chumming...I would suggest you start with small crayfish patterns.

i have the same problem on lake around here the target fish are the smallies and brown trout but you might get 200 perch before the bass or browns hit it. the perch will hit anything (even a big deerhair popper!) but the bass an odd trout keep me coming back!
