Dale 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2008 That's not cheating what so ever. For example, I tie dozens of of 'food pellet' flies every year for Oatka so he can chase the hatchery trucks around. What's the issue . . .? Seriously, matching the hatch weather it's bugs, bait or vegetables is the name of the game. Seaweed flies for carp? Absolutely!! Glow bugs for steelhead? Wouldn't leave home without them!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2008 Oh how brilliant. If only I had such a brainstorm as I watched the water explode upstream when a family was feeding the trout in the stream that ran by their house. As the pellets if food drifted by the fish fed constantly, and selectively, but not on my flies. Opening day blues come in many forms. :ripped: :hyst: :wallbash: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valhalla 1 0 Report post Posted June 24, 2008 Well, I've tied up a spun deer hair fish food pellet to use on my buddies pond. He feeds his fish regularly, and when he does the catfish come up and raise a ruckus and you can't catch a dern thing. It didn't work, though. Dang cats became selective. I believe it was W. C. Fields who once said, "Anything worth winning is worth cheating for..." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way I see it, fun was had by all, so hold your head proud! Now, may I suggest a couple Tiger Muskie in your pond. I love fish with big nasty bitin` teeth, or big poochie Angelina Jolie lips. :-) Cheers, Futzer. PS, Day 5 I want to party, eeerrr fish carp with you cowboy, the two of us together forget it. I will bring my own Kevlar gloves and stunt liver. Thank you for my blatant use of Bill Murray's lines from "Stripes", double cheers. Futzer.
