Philly 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2022 12 hours ago, Chris_in_Louisiana said: Good looking flies, Kim! I've still got the series you sent me tucked away in my warmwater stream box. I plan on putting them to use when I try to set the state Grass Pickerel fly rod record (Currently vacant) later this winter/spring. So, assuming things go according to plan, this will be one for the record books before too long. Chris You mean one like this, It took a size 10 Soft Hackle PT Nymph.

I caught them up to about 7.5" on small streamers, woolly buggers and damsel fly patterns this past year. Hoping one of Kim's series of flies can push me into the 9-10" range before I submit for a state record. They sure are fun on a UL fly rod. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
