Re: Starling and Purple
Back in '92, I built myself a 6'6" Lamiglas 4 Wt. for those brushy little creeks in Eastern Oregon. Didn't need much distance, but relied on a bow and arrow cast most of the time. ;) High banks and over hanging branches are the name of the game around here, unless your fishing a still water fr...

Re: Fishing a Riffle
I think the old sliding bead technique is an old bass fishing trick... using a bullet weight above the worm and letting it slide as it moves along the bottom...sure works with a plastic worm on bass... should work on trout. I'd forgotten about that set-up; we used to use it when surf casting for st...

Re: Soft Hackle book?
Why is there even a question of which one to buy? The correct answer is:... you buy all of them.

Re: Partridge & ... Lightning Bugs
They're all wonderful looking patterns. I'm intrigued by the thought of a luminous primrose thread!

Don't leave this one unguarded! Better yet, don't take it to any shows. Now, start tying! Tell Chase Trout says hi.

Re: a Trout Nightmare
Those lumo beads take me back in time. There used to be a handful of old French dudes up here who only ice fished. All they wanted was big cusk, nothing else. They'd fill an onion bag with a couple cans of cat and/or dog food with holes punched in the top and bottoms, and then in another onion bag, ...

Re: Not a Flymph...
I have a serious desire to drop one of those down about 100', run it behind a cannonball and try and hook up with a 20lb. togue this summer.

Re: Gosling attempt
I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those flies with palmered cock hackle on the body. I'm going to use your pattern and see if I can tempt some brookies out of some local ponds. I think I have some seal that will do just fine for the body. I ...

Re: Gosling attempt
Thanks guys. Ron, that definitely could be. I basically just too the recipe for this fly from Hans Weilenmann who did a video of it. I thought I may be able to use it effectively in some ponds I fish. I actually like your variant better than the original. I seem to get some tippet twist with those ...
