Guest Report post Posted May 3, 2021 Thanks Kiddo. Facing disappointment on my trip. Chinooks/Kings outa season. Coho/Silvers big question Mark??? Maybe some Chums and Pinks. Sockeye are later on. Now Dollys aren’t around but Grayling. RAINBOWS! Maybe better bring some big salty stuff and some wire for some Pike in the lakes. Hope the jet boat trip and float trip on the Willow will work out better than it appears ☹️ Denali tourist here I come...☹️ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 4, 2021 Guy said there was a pink dry fly that was killer for Grayling. Missed the name. Did search and decided on my version. Found some real short deer hair on base of a bucktail and after a chennile body decided on wraps of foam strip, deer hair wing/tail. Oughta float well down below film some and skate it along and maybe not be pushed away as the lil mouths strike.👍 The one I found had CDC wing and a pink dubbed body w/white hackle, no tail....Snip off my tails...

Guest Report post Posted May 19, 2021 Been enjoying some unorthodox dries/skaters maybe...foam wrapped bodies, wings and deer hair tails and some under the hackle wraps. Should float well till get mangled.... Added some foam extended bodies w/mono core and took the easy way out with the flank feathers for wings... Added some pink and purple bodied GriffithsGnats Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 7, 2021 Changed out some smaller spinner trebles with dressed singles. Was able to open the eye on the 3407 #2 hooks to avoid the split ring. Got the non fly box done. Might make a lil pike box... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 13, 2021 Not sure how these are gonna track.. Looks like the way they did the body on the original ShimmyFrog I think, just can’t see it in the pic. Inserted eye in foam after dressing and tied the foam down in the back. I poked some holes in the front of this Cdad with bodkin and inserted lil pieces of lead to make it neutral and wobble.👍 Will work on bigmouths down here in Dixie and maybe get mangled by some pike in the FarNorth. Got me some wire/lil cable stuff that ties like line😳..Maybe some mono weedguards. Ran across hunting ducklings. Larry Tullis Wiggle bugs. They wiggle! ..

Guest Report post Posted June 23, 2021 Kinda tough trying to wind the foam on the mono already tied to hook. Lots easier on a needle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
