Lets just see if OSD is merciful... :baby:

1. it dosn't hurt to put them on. 2. i use a size 1/0 or 2/0 for just about all of my pike. 3.i go through pike flies like crazy, buying them gets very expensive.

Ok, first since i am 15, i have to ask managment if i may create a swap. I have only dropped out of one swap, because I had a broken left arm, and that was last year, maybe june, and the swapper understood. I have joined 3 swaps on this site, and joined about 8 on other sites, and hosted 3 on flyanglersonline.com .That said, i will pm a person in managment just incase they don't see this. OSD you have a PM Ok, just so you know how this swap is going to work. 15 tiers including myself. 16 flies from each person. i divide them so that each person gets 1, then i will draw a name, and that person gets an extera 15 flies. don't worry, i can't pull out my own name. swap closes to new swapers either by the time that it fills up, or by may 21st. Flies are due July 1st. As the title says, flies for big fish. Nothing smaller than a size 2, and mabie a size 4 if you are tying a big enought fly. lets hope i can host the swap. 1.

i am going to have a live class on mine this monday, i couldn't figure it out by myself. i sent them priority today.

I would have to say that kodiaks are flies. here in montana, if you tie it in a vice and toss it with a fly rod, it is fly fishing . Even my good buddy syl nemes, softhackle extrordinare has used spinner flies in the past, flies with spinners on them were very popular in the 40's i beleive. p.s. I LOVE PUTTING ON RUBBER TAILS ON MY PIKE FLIES!!!! it is like the punched out foam boddies for a hopper fisher! it is a must on my favorite flies. i will have to try that one out

I am gonna do the blue charm and the tie braker... i am thinking about doin a fully dressed of some sort. 1500 entries, and 10 ftf members?

First thing tomorrow... sorry for putting it off.

Looks like a winner

oh, lol, i have pike on my mind, sorry

i just have to make 3 more and i will send them out.

i like mice patterns also other topwater.

Absolutly

cool, looks a little like something i tie, same shape, but i twist chenile and the hackle is green chinese neck.

Looks good

i would add rubber legs, and a marrabou biot mix tail. looks good though.

i'd take 1 too, and can you make a sheath for it too? i am pretty clumsy, i don't like to take that approach to dying my white rabbit skins red

Absolutly

I fished the grande ronde, but not for smallies, for steelies, and a guy said that right about now the smallies are going crazy. He recomended the hell craw, bead head wooly buggers in black, and some small topwater poppers. He has had 100 fish days, for a week in a row before. Good luck.

do you use soft-ex and if so, how, and how long do you turn it. Would it work with ep?

should be a winner

mabie some top water, i don't know much about stripers.

i just got a vid. cam, i will try to post a vidio of when i use it.

i just tied something like it with a deer hair head, and dubbing brush body. it looks ineresting.

Those should work.

a little feed back please? :dunno:
