I left my warmwater box on my tailgate yesterday. 200+ flies lost somewhere along the highway. This assortment will be my first step towards rebuilding it. Excited to see what’s included. Chris That's quite bizarre. I added the earlier comment assuming I was logged into my account. Apparently my new iPhone logged into an account on here I never knew existed? Guessing I set it up years ago on an old phone, forgot and the password was saved. 2 hours ago, BHouk said: Ouch! What's missing? Maybe we can throw a few extras your way... I appreciate it, but no worries. Rebuilding the box will be a good project for me this winter. As for the contents, it was a mix of poppers, streamers, terrestrial patterns and nymphs I use locally for bass and panfish. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Let me, at least, suggest one for you. I had a great year for large mouth bass with a Gray Goose Emerger. I would not have expected the bass to take this fly let alone as much as they did. It was a real soft take. You didn't know they were there until you set the hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And will definitely tie a few up. I've been surprised at how willing largemouth are to take smaller offerings. I had an 18" delicately sip a #14 cricket pattern while fishing for longear sunfish in a small stream earlier this summer. It was quite a surprise when I set the hook and something that size exploded from the water. I actually started a separate thread if anyone else has any suggestions: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
