Floatfisher

I have fished for Grayling on the Pine River in BC. We used size 12, 14 and 16 Tom Thumbs in mixed natural and orange. They had almost a strike every cast.

Thanks for the ideas. I was thinking along those lines as well but was wondering if anybody had another radical ideas. Thanks - appreciated.

I am a diabetic , I have a rather expensive insulin pump that I wear 24X7. At the moment I have neoprene waders and have not really found a good place to secure my pump other than on my briefs, It's a clip mount. I know it might be a long shot but, I'll ask anyway........... If you are a diabetic and on a pump with an insertion point can I ask you what type of waders you have and how do you secure your pump?

Happens almost every year. They are chum salmon crossing the road from an overflow or tributary of the Skokomish River in Washington.

The fishing looks really good to me! Just have to nug in between the other fishers for some room! https://explore.org/livecams/brown-bears/br...am-brooks-falls Lots of different "LIVE" cams including an under water sockeye cam

Nice tie!

I have 1 of these: https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/ I use it for a dash cam. It is so small that it is very hard to see just above my mirror. You can get various options to do what you want with it. I also have a super capacitor in it instead of a battery and it only functions when my ignition is on. If you use the battery you can have it set to turn on with motion. Worth a read about it on the website. Also in use in the RC community because of it's size and weight.. Great for RC planes..

Are we not an INCLUSIVE forum? If we are then it really doesn't matter if we use "American English" or "the Queen's English" and spelling. We all know what we are conversing about anyway.

I know my 5 brothers in law do not tie their own! They steal them from me to stock up when we are fishing together :-(

When I was out ocean fishing for salmon using my 8wt and Rio Versa-tip, I needed to get wayyy down quickly. I made a T17 sinking tip and it solved the problem. Get yourself some Tungsten line, it comes in various sink rates(weight) as whatfly said. Make your own sink tip. You will also notice a huge pull on your back cast. Check out Ebay or Amazon for it.

Go to it people! Catch as many as you can! http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/environment/oops-after-accidental-release-of-atlantic-salmon-fisherman-being-told-catch-as-many-as-you-want/

Definitely YES! They sure look like what we in BC call Chironomids and they are deadly under an indicator in the early spring on lakes for trout.

Nice fly and nice video. I'll have to give it a try!

Even if you are not from Canada please consider singing this petition to let our government know that you do not condone the open net salmon farming in our Pacific Ocean destroying the environment and our wild Pacific salmon. Thank you From Alex Morton: I thought you guys would like to know there is a government sponsored petition calling for legislated removal of salmon farms from our oceans. This is unprecedented! If salmon farms concern you sign and share. https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Peti...Petition=e-270 We now have the tools to restore wild salmon by reading their immune systems, which can tell us where and how we are hurting the fish. We can then change our behavior exactly where and when the fish need it the most and then we can go back and ask the fish if we made it better for them. This takes the guesswork out of salmon restoration - incredibly powerful, but while this is Canadian science, it is not being used. Perhaps because it could reveal some uncomfortable truths. At the same time, Canadians are investing in closed containment aquaculture, which is the way of the future of this industry. So - if the Trudeau government hears from enough of us, I think there is a chance we could get moving on bringing back wild salmon and pioneering aquaculture that really does feed people. It's up to us! Alex Morton

Soooo cooool!

This link is for the Weaver Creek Spawning Channel on the Chehalis River. It is a tributary of the Harrison River which joins the mighty Fraser. It is only viewable during West Coast daylight hours as it is a live feed. At present you might see a few rotting Pink salmon but from now til early Nov. Sockeye and Chum salmon should start stacking up and flooding the channel. http://www.hancockwildlife.org/index.php?topic=chehalis_underwater#UnderwaterCam Make it full screen for that extra wish.

I've been using FlySource a XML program written by Kevin Umbach et al. This program, because it is XML, has worked in all of the windows versions I have had. I work in IT so I have had them all. It allows you to have a name, picture, description, type of fly, creator, tyer, materials and tying information if steps needed. At presence I have over 1000 flys that I have gleaned from the net and placed in the database. Copy and paste works great if you know the key short cuts. You can sort, have books of types of flies, have an inventory of your materials, it is very customizable. There use to be an online portion for trading patterns but renting space on a server got too expense and was shut down. The version that was last completed was FlySource 1.09 - google it and try it, I'm sure it is still out there somewhere.

What do you call it???? Pinky or the Brain ?????? Great imagination and artistry to produce a pattern like that!

Tried to tie 1 this weekend. I always start my first tie of a new fly on a larger sized hook. I used a size 10 Mustad 49s. I had a problem with putting the legs in and staying where put so, I used Krazy Glue and then when set I bound them in with thread. Sorry don't have a picture but it turned out good enough to try a smaller hook.

Try a Christmas Tree or a Blue Rolled Mudler. Maybe I'll see you out there if I ever get my boat, motor and trailer together and set up.

Calf tail is a lot shorter and has more of a crinkle to it. When the pattern calls for buck tail it is usually looking for long straight strands of hair.

Doesn't matter what rod weight I use it always seems not to be far enough!

I use tapered style quick release indicators. I usually use them when fishing chironomids on still water. http://www.stillwaterflyfishingstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=gfdcffslt7n65dkc2cp1h0t8f2
