    Good morning Fin-ite,

     

    I would suggest doing the same and I have done just that quite a few times. I have also checked with some chefs that I know. Every one I have talked with has said it would be the same either fresh water or salt water. Because of my fishing opportunities, I have made this many times, using pan fish and white perch, and have had great success. i.e. no one has fallen ill from eating it. Although that being said, it usually doesn't say around much more than an hour.

    Ceviche

     

     

     

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound white fish fillets, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

    1 teaspoon grapefruit zest

    1 teaspoon lime zest

    1/2 cup freshly squeezed grapefruit juice

    1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice

    1 medium tomato, seeded and diced

    1 small red onion, finely diced

    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

    1 jalapeno, seeded and minced

    1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves

    1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves

    1/4 teaspoons kosher salt

    1 teaspoon sugar

    1/2 teaspoon toasted and ground cumin

     

    Directions

    Put the fish, grapefruit zest, lime zest, grapefruit juice, and lime juice into a large resealable bag. Put the bag into a leak-proof container and refrigerate over night, turning 2 to 3 times, during this time, to evenly distribute the marinade.

    Drain the marinade and put the fish into a large serving bowl. Add the tomato, onion, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, oregano, salt, sugar, cumin, and stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to serving.

    This would be my choice.

    Bob finally decided to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend.
    One evening, after the honeymoon, he was tying some flies for fun. His new wife was standing there at the bench watching him.

    After a long period of silence she finally spoke, "Honey, I've just been thinking, now that we are married, maybe it's time you quit spending all your time out here in the shop.
    You probably should just consider getting rid of all this fly tying stuff and that stupid rusty old Jeep.
    Bob got a horrified look on his face.
    She said, "Darling, what's wrong?"
    He replied, "For a minute there you were starting to sound just like my ex-wife."
    "EX WIFE!" she screamed, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU WERE MARRIED BEFORE!"

    Bob replied: "I wasn't!"

    My favorite jig nymph for the next couple of months. Pulls multi duty as small stonefly or green drake nymph. Who knows what trout think it is but it's been my top producing general searching guide fly for the past month.JigGreenDrake%2310.jpg?format=1000w

    These are amazing. I can see how they would be a great searching pattern. I also looked at you site. Great ideas. Any chance you would be willing to cough up the receipt for this fly?

     

    Thanks

    Eide,

    As always, I'm still envious of your tying ability. even if I had another 40 years of learning, I suspect I might be able to tie closer to your talents.

    I do have a question though... I noticed your bodies are either varnished or uv resin. Have you found that this increases the weight of the fly too much? Do you find that the fly still rides high on the water?

    Just as a reminder to everyone... the Miranda Rights state “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”

     

    "Can and WILL be used AGAINST you in the court of law" These are not read to you to help you in any way no mater how it is explained to you.

     

    This is just my two sense... or cents, which ever way you want to read this.

    I have two of these pond/lakes within a mile of my house that have some of these monsters in them. I'm usually good for 6 to 10 of the 30" plus fish every spring. Most of them I have caught on a heavily dressed Mickey Finn. The only other thing I have had any luck with is a Chartreuse/White Deceiver. The only issue I have had in the past is they tend to hit the fly in the back half and from the side. Quite often they will miss the hook.

     

    Best of luck in April.
