those are the best pigboats i have seen. bluegill one takes the cake.

it wasnt timing as i saw the fish hit and get hooked and go airbourne 10 ft in front of me. i will try a stinger and being thinner may float higher

i tied a few thundercreek flies using all satin material. i also added some foam to make the head larger and float possibly. most instructions called for a 4xl hook,mine was size 4. this fly worked great,looked great and got hit hard. only problem was the bass mostly 12-15inches took the fly deeply. even with barbless most were hooked in the gill section..so i stopped using them.. any suggestions richmce

when i started fly tying 20 yrs ago mr byrd was a popular tyer. he was mostly into micro size flies for gills his most popular fly was like a size 10, tail was rabbit removed from the skin and body had it in a dubbing loop

i once was going to do a class on buggers all types small, large,jumbo, conehead, leadeye,masked [helmet] flash bugger, rubber legged bugger ,floating bugger ,popping bugger, articulated bugger . and from a teaching standpoint it would be repeating with a twist .

lefty used to say it was the best material for popper tails as it doesnt stick together when wet, it will spread out

i made several furling tools basically a thin dowel rod with an alligator clip on the end. it easy to furl material as it can roll easily in your fingers rich mc

dont forget about using t shirt paint

i prefer blood quill marabou for the tail.

i wore my buff and had latex gloves on as i helped direct traffic and hand out palms in the street by our church. drive up service.glad to see most older parishoners wore masks in their cars. the police stopped another larger church from doing the same.

maybe now she will share her nail polish with you . good for both of you

havnt see cork like that since my early ice fishing days. my friends dad would make a cut lengthwise ,half way thru and you would put the line in the slot. if your bait was very light you could chip off a chunk with your fingernail. thus a perfectly balanced float.

took a casting lesson at the sanibel orvis shopback in the ninetys. purchased 5 flies and went to the causeway . my dad caught 4 spanish mackeral on shrimp. and i lost all my flies since i didnt have a steel leader . but that was fun

almost pulled the plug on a tenkara streamsideleaders .com was next to me at a show last fall.

ive always had an issue with the senior citizen discount. some are at 60 yrs ,some 65. being involved in many clubs i know that seniors fish alot and put a big impact on our fisheries. i dont think the majority would be hurt by paying full price till they were 70. im almost 63 and still feel that way.
