Guest Report post Posted April 2, 2021 Peacock bass have been stocked in lots if places. Only successful so far I think has been Fla. back in 1984. I’m not sure how this lake/pond is legal for Barrimundi cuz regs say “indoors”. Seems like possible some hooligans could get some out somehow and start the next invasive species. That’s how Oscars, Cichlids, FeatherBacks, and all the weird catfish things got started...aquariumists. Iquanas, snakes, all kinds of vegetation’s. https://www.fdacs.gov/content/download/64567/file/Restricted-Species-Aquaculture-Rules-and-Regulations.pdf i called the outfit for pricing. Got answering machine . It’s on FB do the search...The number $800 showed up but not sure how many people that included. Lotta bikini babes in the pics, maybe some new fly tiers.... 😳 Big equipment rental outfit had Dove hunt for clients few years back. They had “girls” for retrievers. Never could get any of the guys to own up to anything. Glad I missed that coulda been some killins😝 https://www.google.com/search?q=barramundi in fla.

Upstate 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2021 Metal tape minnows from autumn 2019 fly tyer magazine jay fullum article Hooks - size 4 and 2 6x long thread - white 6/0 uni underbody - layers of foil tape body - pearl mylar piping hook wrap- sparkle braid pearl wing- small bundle of white buck tail throat- red flash material I had. Don’t even know what it’s called. eyes- 6 mm sawbellys will be coming in soon and I thought these would make a nice imitation for a hungry trout or salmon and even a early smallmouth.

jamieofthenorth 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2021 Reverse Copper John Hook: Mustad size 14, 2XL Tail: Partridge Abdomen: Peacock Ribbing: Copper wire Thorax: Copper wire Wings: Goose biots Wing casing: Black backing, Flashabou Notes: While knocked on my butt a bit after my second Pfizer vaccine dose the other day, this pattern appeared in a bizarre dream. Easy to remember it, since it just reversed most of the front half with the back half in the traditional pattern. Looks a lot like a Prince Nymph, but it was fun to experiment.
