mikechell 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2019 I used to know a guy who would do the dishes, then put the clean items under the ones already in or on the shelf. (I.E. lift the spoons and put the clean ones on the bottom) His excuse? He "didn't want the items on the bottom to feel left out." So he made sure ALL the dishes and flatware got used. I was living with four roommates at the time, and he wasn't even the worst one! Did YOU ever live in Columbia, SC? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My parents lived in Florence for a year not that long ago when they first retired, but that's as close as I have come to Columbia. Driven through there a lot, though.

flytire 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2019 pontoon hopper Pontoon HopperHook - Dry fly styleThread - Color to matchBody - Short segment from the end of a feather quill - dyed or colored with a markerLegs - Biots Tying Note - The body can be substituted with a wooden dowel carved to shape and painted or colored with a permanent marker.The legs can be substituted with knotted pheasant tail legs.Add painted eyes and antennae and wings. I found a photo in Mike Valla's book "The Founding Flies" and decided to tie one up. It is attributed to Charlie Craighead and tweaked by Bill Bennett and was popularized by Vince Marinaro. I Google searched for more historical info but there is very little out there on the web. It certainly is not a very durable fly and I doubt that it would survive to catch a second fish.

Meeshka 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2019 I like it flytire. May not survive a second fish but looks easy and quick enough to tie Doug Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishnPhil 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2019 The pink and white which I posted earlier were 5-6 inches long. These are more like 2.5-3 inches. I still need to clip the sacrificial front hook. I could have tied these on a streamer hook but they wouldn't fish the same as articulated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2019 That pink and white will work all day long... bet it suspends between strips and shallow fish in the backcountry of the Everglades like that sort of movement... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I" would like to stay true to the period. So with that said, UV products would cheating. LOL P.S. Cool old-fashion-looking fly. I like the simplicity of it. I bet Bluegill would POUND that!

MuskyFlyGuy 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2019 Caloosa Would you be willing to do a quick SBS? I would be interested in tying that fly in a 4/0 or 5/0. Thanks Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
