Hey guys just got back from a long over due fish catching trip. Been on vacation in Australia for 6 weeks and never even caught a cold the hold time i was there, talk about some bad luck. Packed up the tent and hit the road to some of my fav fishing spots in the world. Day one was all about the dries. Stimulators, Caddis, Humpies, Stones and Hoppers. Cutties and Rainbows were hitting everything! The evening rolled in some thunder showers and the extreme winds of up to 95KM/Hr stayed into the next days afternoon. Was a tough go fishing in winds so strong it was blowing sheets of water off the surface but i found a bit of a sheltered pool, threw on a streamer and was smashing it! Never had such a great bull trout day in my life. Landed 10 19"+ Bulls all on my left over saltwater flies from Aus.

Iam a journeyman electrician. Not sure how soon you would like this done, I'm leaving for a week as I work out of town but will be back in town next week and could arrange to come around to look at the job. Let me know, Nik

Was fishing a month or so ago with Murray, we were coming back on the boat and i had a few good shocks through the graphite. Took me a few minutes to realize what was going on aswell. It was fine on the cork obviously. Changed me way of thinking about fishing in a storm tho! Edit: Just a few seconds, not Minutes

Glad it went smoothly!

Iam also looking to pick up something from kev! Will contribute to the pot if you can bring me back a rod.

Crazy, Thanks for the Pics!

Have been using Thingamobbers but find they tangle up quite often and kink the leader. I came accross this recently and was thinking about giving it a shot. http://midcurrent.com/2012/06/15/a-really-really-good-strike-indicator/

I've tried the above mentioned method of using the thread to tie it in. That method lasted even less time casting hence using wire to tie it in. Im now thinking its the chenille as ive even tried not using head cement. No dice. I'll try a few more methods and keep everyone posted, Worst comes to worst ill just tie wire worms! Thanks guys,

Sorry SilverDoctor, upon a reread I realized it sounded like that was the updated fly as it was intended to be tied. That's actually the aftermath of casting for about 30 mins. As you can see the chenille is still is breaking at the tie points.

Hey guys been tying some San Jaun worms and keep facing the same problem. Chenille always snaps right at the same point. This is an updated version in which I used the wire to set the chenille ends rather than the thread. The fly was soaked in water based head cement. Any tips?

mind explaining how come?

Thats a sick tie! Am I mistaken that the tail appears to be a CDC feather trimmed?

Wow great photos! Looks like a great haul and a trip to remember with friends haha. Yesterday i stopped and thought to my self "Hmm, bet the river is a ghost town today!" Thanks for proving me wrong.

Finishing up some clousers, fun ties! Ive Never tied these or fished them. Anyone use these on the bow? Was thinking about tying some green/white ones aswell. Better time spent tying something else?

Read a few of your posts in the last hour and find them all to be absolutely pointless and bring nothing to the table other than reviving old threads to bring your post count up. A more productive way of posting would include an example of why this forum is "Sub-Par" and possible ways to help this issue. Lets try and keep this forum moving forward with informative and inspiring posts. Leave the filler at home.
