    Does The "system" Work?

    Be on the look out for other means of poaching while you are out...

    Found in a log on the shore of a river. An effective bait rig that is out of sight for the most part... trout takes bait deep, stays on the line until the poacher is clear to look.

     

    not neccesarily used for poaching. I used to use that rig when i spinned fished the N.Sask when i was young. we'd throw a nail on and two wet flies placed above it. whities couldnt resist it.

    Test drove one of these the other day. These waterproof camera's have no viewfinder and my fear was the screen in bright sunshine. I tried one out at a local camera shop, we went outside in the bright sunshine and the screen was very clear. So in appreciation, I bought one off eBay! I know it is bad form to try something local and buy somewhere else, but I saved like $75.00.

     

    Can't wait to try to get some release shots! No more pictures in the grass for me.

     

    I have flooded like 4 cameras, and probably 6 cell phones in my life. Can't wait for the waterproof BlackBerry!

     

    rick, maybe i was bidding against you!! tried to get one on there but it went a little too far outa my price range.... let me know how you like it.

    Yes fibers under the body. Well, with large fingers like mine it is not easy. As you can see in the second image, the fibers are left long. You can pinch the butts with your right thumb and forefinger and set them along side the shank. Then grab the fiber tips with the thumb and forefinger of your left hand and work them into place under the body trying to get a few on either side of the hook shank. Anchor the fibers and make sure they are organized before you tighten too much. Then dub in the thorax/head dubbing. If you see that caddis pupae image that was posted yesterday, you will get the idea why the shape is thus. Note also that the one shown is greenish. Lots of color variations.

     

    The emerger shown by rusty has "winner" written all over it. Nice fly.

     

    Thanks clive, I'll give it a shot when I get a chance.

    Randy..

     

    Try this. Simple. Works. I wanted an emerger last year and the existing patterns are way too complicated. I am an Ice Dub geek and it works well on this pattern. As always, use what you have and colors to resemble what's around. This brown combo seems to work for caddis on our rivers and lakes..you may want a greenish one too.

     

    The key is the fat ass. Taper to back.

     

    Cheers!

    Clive, tried tying a few of these tonight. Quick question. do you want the peasant tail fibres to be right under the body, and how do you get them there?? cant seem to wrap my brains around it at the moment.

     

    Thanks
