  1. A rough sucker tied on 2 5/0 hooks.
  2. There were sessions and a lot of opportunities for kids. I took my 7 year old grandson and he tied his first fly in a booth. Lots of exceptional tyers and organizations. Plenty of old friends, which is important to expand to the next generation. He lasted two hours, which is an hour longer than my son predicted. Hope you can make it back in the future
  3. Is anyone going to the Fly Fishing Expo at Hamline University in St. Paul, MN this weekend? Tom
  4. LL, All the brushes I buy for muskies are 12”. When I make lures I put Flashabou on the coils and the coil has the wire inserted into it. Typically.040 or .051. The brushes have wire that is consistent with bass brushes, so I think 36 gauge would be fine. I typically wrap my brushes around my fly hooks. 5/0 - 6/0 for muskies and 2/0 - 3/0 for northerns. Tom
  5. Norm, Absolutely beautiful proportions on that Dr Breck. That is an amazing head you put on that fly. To
  6. Fruitrollup, Nice job on the caddis flies
  7. Me too. I build my own. I guess plus or minus $20.

    What’s cooking

    Oh, does that look good. I can smell it all the way here.
  9. This year I built 20 of each of the lures. They have a 6/0 treble hook in the rear and an eight Colorado and a 9 Indiana blade. There is a one ounce weight, so they will cast like a bullet. 30 go to the MN HS Musky championship and the other 30 go to our Chapter’s tournament. I got a couple of grants to cover the materials.
  10. That is an excellent collection of woollies.
  11. Mark, Only 30-50 fish a day. Welcome to a great day in the rest of the world. The late Charlie Brooks said that during his time in Alaska he went from fishing, to wanting to catch a lot of fish, to catching big fish, and finally catching them the way he wanted.
