look into going to yellowstone park in the lamar valley lots of water to fish, slough creek, soda butte and the lamar river I will be there in three weeks but if you decide to go there check the weather last time I was there in August the night we arrived it was 70 degrees the next morning it was 25 and six inches of snow on the ground

was wondering if my flies arrived

am I in this swap I was just wondering because in the first post I count seven names I would still like to be but if I am not let me know my flies are ready to be mailed I tied a foam grasshopper and a sinking ant thanks dave

permethrin is great for keeping the ticks off of you the ticks are terrible in hunting season. I buy straight permethrin at the feed store and mix it myself and spray on my hunting clothes no noticable odor and it works last bear season my brother had like 30 ticks on him and I had zero so the next day he was using my spray. It seems to work best when the permethrin is at least 15 percent in the spray. good luck

I was going to go catfishing tonight but it's dark so I think I will stay home and listen to justin bieber alblums hahha

those are some pretty fish

cool looking forward to it, flies to be determined will let you know when i figure it out

just got my flies from may yesterday everyone did a nice job this month's should go out this weekend or monday at the latest

I will join if there is still space available

excercise bands from big box stores will give you a lifetime supply and they come in different thicknesses and take color well

I agree with the above post it is all a bunch of crap use what you like

I haven't fished with anyone on this forum but used to have some of the members of the faol forum come in to fish back in the late 90's and early 2000's always had a great time with them if anyone is interested in coming to central pa shoot me a pm I would love to fish with ya and show you some good spots

I think it is a matter of personal choice and casting ablity and in the book he was fishing a pa spring creek there are some creeks here like Penns Creek that in some spots are 200 to 350 feet wide maybe more and with a slight 5 to 10 mph wind it would be very hard to make alot of the casts needed to reach the fish with a lighter weight rod. I have fished the lake run steelhead and browns in pa and ny with a 5 weight because the creeks are smaller and easier to cast across even though they are larger fish than what i catch in the spring creeks the 5 weight handles it just fine but I always take a heavier weight rod to the larger creeks even though the fish a smaller just so I have the opportunity to cast to rising fish that I would never reach with the lighter weight rod

I was wondering what are some patterns for the brown drake? thanks for your help

I am going to tie either a grasshopper or a cricket out of foam

hope you got mine i sent them tuesday morning in the priority mail should have been there thursday or friday please let me know if you have got them thank you

sweet looking pattern

flies are on there way should be there thursday or friday

I am going to be out that way in July also if it is your first trip to Cody don't miss seeing the musuem it is really cool
