Ayr

Hey Guys/Gals, Well, May is in the books; here are a few pics from last month. Hope you all got out a time, or two, or.....and enjoyed some fishing! HEEEELP! June is lining up to be gooder!! Should be fun! Ayr.

Good work, congrats!! Ayr.

Looks like fun guys!! We've been hammerin' the big girls up north here too, what a blast! Thanks for sharing the vid, Ayr. Regarding the handing thing; the only perfect way to handle them is not angle for them at all, but what fun is that? I see flaws in both handling systems illustrated, so what? We do our best (I assume), so let's catch some fish a have a great time!

That's a beauty Cutt. Thanks for sharing the vid Jay and always look forward to them! Ayr.

Two more sleeps and my favorite spot opens for early season pike on the fly !! A couple of seasons ago, I made a change from titanium leaders to flourocarbon (60 lb.). The water I fish is shallow and clear (and fairly heavily fished), so the flourocarbon has increased the number of hits I get and in the two seasons since the switch, I have never been broken off. A quick thank you to Clive and his pike site. I have been making flies based on some of the examples on the site. They are quite a bit uglier , but I am hopeful they will get hammered anyway !! I use a ten weight, which might be a bit much, but at the same time it helps to punch 5-7 inch streamers through the wind, and bring a larger fish under control in a reasonable time frame. Pike on the fly can be a real blast, good luck to those goin' after them in the next little while. Ayr.

Hey, You seem awesome, we should go fishing sometime! I will call you , my eyes! Now I can't read the number. Another lifetime, k? Ayr.

WOW, where will this end?? We can all agree (I hope) that reasonable care should be taken in the catch/photo/release of fish, but we're getting carried FAR away! Guys; angling causes fish stress! Everyone that is so concerned about these precious little creatures, PLEASE consider golf or if you're concerned about how the ball is effected by the impact (golf ball concussion syndrome), may bebird watching, or non-flash photography will be more up your alley !! Or you could campaign to save the Sea Kittens..... I guess it's possible (hopefully probable) that you were kidding to get a response -- ya got me.

You mean she passed up the opportunity to introduce you at the wedding; "Everyone, this is Jack--Jack HAMMER, Jack HAMMER--Everyone.

Nice work Jay, it was a good month! Who's the short hair dude in the Loop hat? I might have seen that Rainbow pic of said beast, if it's the one I'm thinking of..... Ayr.

Yeah Jay, we'll look forward to the pics. No pike last month; seasonal closure on the lake. It opens up again in a couple of weeks and with the colder-late spring, it should go guns till the end of May. For sure come on up, we'll get into 'em! Ayr.

Nice fish, thanks for sharing! Congrats! Ayr.

Hey Everyone, Here's a few pics from last month, hope you all got out and I'm sure most of us would like to get out even more often! We'll see what next month brings! Ayr.

I've used them on Minnewanka for early season lakers in relatively shallow water. While they don't keep their flat profile well (they tend to curl for me in storage), they have caught me fish. Ayr.

Nice shots, thx for sharing. Beautiful evening wear on the Bulls! Ayr.

Some good shots, thanks for sharing. Ayr.

WOW !!

Nice fish guys, WTG ! Ayr.

It doesn't ubermatter, consider congratulating the guy on memorable day for him, this or last year.

Congrats on your first Bully on the fly; a fish to remember! Ayr.
