niveker 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 @Mark Knapp, thanks. I did not tie that one though, I think it's an old Orvis fly of my Dad's, probably at least 30 years old, I would guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
niveker 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2020 @DFoster, very nice fish. I'm assuming you mean just below the Big Lady? Its been a crazy, Covid-19 fueled summer on that part of the river, and the higher water level has allowed the kayak hatch to creep further north.

Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2020 Pretty little rainbow from a Smokys trip earlier this month. Ended up being my one and only trout of the year. Spent the rest of the time playing guide to my father and wife. He managed one rainbow before Hurricane Sally ruined his trip by swinging east. She had a slightly nicer rainbow in the shallows before tangling her rod tip in a low hanging tree. A fun trip nonetheless. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love fly fishing for panfish when I don't have the time to get all gussied up for stream fishing. What did the crappie take? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What did the crappie take? Got him on a small orange popper. There’s a canal that runs through the property I live/work at, that has a ton of different fish in it and it is just a short walk from the house.

niveker 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2020 Slow work week, so yesterday I took the afternoon off to visit my local tailwater. A near perfect fall day in New England, few things are as beautiful as a brook trout in spawning colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
