Kudu 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks Joe! I have really been doing well on the wedding veil fly. I like it a lot. I hope you got to fish this weekend. My son and I went out today. I did very well in shell cracker on the stealth bomber with a dropper. Frying fish for supper tomorrow. Btw I sent the wedding veil fly to steel drifter and he caught a pike on it. We don't have pike here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atxdiscgolfer 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 I am going to try and get back down to the coast soon though, i joined the CCA last week and they have the Star Texas Tournament where they tag different species and give out BIG prizes for catching 1. A friend of ours won a boat last yr for catching a tagged Flounder, they tag so many fish for each area, pretty nice of you are lucky enough to catch 1 if not CCA is a great organization that you are giving $ to.

Kudu 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2013 Atx wife and daughter outing sounds more fun than fishing for Father's Day anyway. My son,7, and I had a blast fishing yesterday. After my 4 year old daughter brought out breakfast to me while wearing an apron. Cutest thing you ever saw. I just noticed you wanted a recipe for the tarpon flies, so here it goes Black Death 2/0 Gama Saltwater Hook Heavy black thread I think mine was 210 Danvilles not sure also use UTC and Veevus Red Magnum Rabbit Strip tail make sure to do a snarfle guard to prevent fouling Black Magnum Strip collar UV, CCG, to cover thread strips for a neat durable finish Simple, easy, effective!

utyer 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 MIne are in the mail, but they didn't get picked up until late Wednesday. You got the last ones in a day, so look for them on Friday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iFly 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2013 Thanks for letting me know atx. Ill admit the deer hair job was not the best I've done. The patch I got didnt want to flare when tightened at all. Don't know what the deal was. But it'll get the job done either way. And no I didn't get to fish down there. I wish I could have but we were constantly moving around and had a full schedule...oh well. Ill be back to fish one day that's for sure. And thanks for hosting atx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
