We've regularly caught trout down to Aulton Island (at the end of what used to be considered "navigable water" at the end of Eagle Bend Industrial Park), and sometimes down to Clinton Island and...

Myself... Several times.:mad:

What a great event! I was really excited when I heard this was scheduled. Hats off to Byron and Wilson for putting this together!. Tremont Lodge was the perfect venue. Of all the things I enjoyed...

I've had a fair amount of luck flinging large white streamers at trout in local waters, like Galloup's Sex Dungeon, Barr's Slumpbuster, big Wooly Buggers, Deceivers, etc. I've not tried the Stacked...

Thanks for the advice. I'm really starting to look forward to the trip. I just hope work doesn't get in the way! :big grin:

You were right on target with perch fishing in Montrose Harbor. We...

Thanks for the information and the link, Softhackle! And for stirring up some memories! I recognize the Fox and DuPage rivers, as well as the towns of St. Charles, Batavia, et al. I lived in Carol...

Looks like your still getting the white stuff according to the Weather Channel. When will it end? (I guess that is THE question.) I will be up in your neck of the woods (around Naperville) in May...

Looks good! what did you use for the body?

Makin' me hungry! Great posts!

Are we talking wire from a taser? Or is this a new brand of wire? Either way, good lookin' bug!

Like Grannyknot said in his post, for the record, this fish was not caught on the fly. It was hard enough getting it in with a bait caster. I can't even imagine landing one like that on a fly rod!

About two weeks ago, we saw the same kind of activity between Peach Orchard and the bridge. We were catching a few rainbows, including a couple of nice fish, on wooly buggers and BPHTs, but we were...

Well, not specifically. But if the waders fit.... :rolleyes:

I read that, too. But the article also says:


"...and he says he doesn't regret concluding that anglers were spreading didymo from stream to stream.

He goes on to say:


"There are a lot...

Great post! Looks like everyone had a good time. Thanks for sharing!

Hey David, why not post the recipe you use and some pictures in the General Fly Tying Forum? Others can send in their versions, as well. While your at it, can you or someone else explain the...

Welcome! Lot's of good folks and good information to look forward to.

Great post, David! And amen on the Sex Dungeon! Brownies in particular really seem to like them. Charlie Craven's web site has a good step-by-step pattern for them. Have you used them much out in...

My memory is not my strong suit, but I seem to remember a link someone posted to a video or two about fishing in South Carolina. One of the videos was of a lab swimming (I think trying to retrieve...

Thanks for letting us know, JoeFred! That's a great series. I'm really looking forward to watching it.

Corbo,

Why don't you post some of your patterns? We still have a fair amount of winter tying time left. Besides, there's a lot of water around here other than the Clinch that holds stripers. ...

Hey, whatever works! I've caught fish on both dries and nymphs while picking up line at a pretty good clip. I've also found that some times, different is good. Thanks for the explanation. Can't...

Shawn,

Do you have a picture of your spinner posted somewhere? Also, what did Corbo mean by "CHUGGED?" I love learning new patterns and presentation techniques.

Gentlemen, I'm impressed with the artwork! Thanks for the lesson. We'll just have to hope for the best regarding the redds.

Wow, MB! :eek: Those pictures sure help explain why the tree trunks floating down river look like an Oak Ridge rowing regatta! While I agree with Waterwolf that the fishing normally improves after...
