Istripbuggers

I'll second that. I sell them at the fly shop that I work at, great price for a good reel with a quality drag system used in all of there reels. Oh, and it's still made in the good ol usa..

Thanks mike! Got him on a red San juan worm, haha.

Yup I might try nymphs under an indicator

Today on the little truckee river..

I dig it battenkill. Nice work!

Yeah, I fish pyramid a lot. I'm going out next week actually. It's a great spot. if you scroll through the fish pictures thread over in the "fly fishing" section of the forum you will see a bunch of pics I posted of pyramid. I definitely recommend it to anyone that loves the thought of catching a 25 pound trout on a fly, it's been happening every year for a few years now and should only get better with the true strain of LCT introduced and there water rights recently allowing the lake level to be higher. Anyways if you wanna talk more pm me. Miles

Hey easternsierraflies, like the streamers. I'm a Sierra fishermen too. I live near truckee. Anyways glad to see another local on the forum. Here's a few articulated streamers I tied with the spirit river articulated shanks, and those fish skull "living eyes" which really finish off the fly well with CCG

Articulated rabbit leeches

Dude! That is So cool I've been fishing griffiths gnats a lot recently. Could you do a quick SBS? I'm just assuming it's a dubbing loop??Thanks, Miles

Multiple articulated rabbit leeches

Here's a few frenchies I tied on a sz 10 umpqua competition jig hook. Was thinking more along the lines of steelhead for these.

I really like that march brown cjsnyder1234, very well proportioned!

Ooh.. Very nice double bunnys cj! That fire tiger color is awesome. Thanks for the ideas. -Miles

Some streamers...

Pyramid lake, NV and Del Valle, CA

Try a uv resin. I've been having fun making heads for my streamers using CCG, lots of applications for this product.

Very nice tie! Thanks for sharing. What fish are you targeting with those?

I fish lakes a lot, especially in the winter for trout. Having a sinking line or tip will most likely help depending on what your throwing. I prefer a tip so I can change out to a dry without switching spools. And full sink lines suck to cast, but there's a place and a time for those, too. My catch rate improved dramatically when I started using a sinking tip on the end of my floating line, For many reasons. One big one is less time waiting for your fly to sink where you want it which means more time fishing. Another is when stripping back wolly buggers (my favorite fly for general trout fishing in lakes) it keeps the bugger at a greater depth, keeping the fly in the trouts face longer. That and the obvious reason of getting down deeper should be enough to spend $10.00 on a rio 7 ft 3.5 ips (inches per second) sink tip... -Miles

A white bunny leech for lake trout, and my first attempt at a bass popper

A couple of lakers from this evening.

Very cool to see you catch them on flys. What where you using? Here's one from pyramid lake last week: My first salmon ever, got em on a stonefly tied by my buddy: And a couple of bows from the lake a few miles from my house:

Maybe a good Czech nymphing rod too. Love the matte finish with the wrap color. Very nice work!

The Muddler minnow has given me zero luck.. Ill stick with buggers
