  1. go with a 8 footer.. most of teh dryfly i do on teh bow wether it be hunting snouts or tossin hopper droper rigs is usually 40 feet or less...... same with the smaller streams.... im looking at pickin up a 8 foot 3wt for teh bow this year bin using a 9footer for years but dont really need that extra foot unless im doing madd mending...
  2. good stuff gordy! make sure too bring a ew of scotts lightweight speys u were talkin bout months back! good on ya for your course too! not too much longer too go and your done!!!!!!
  3. mixture for me.. getting more into non beeded flies tho... ide say maybe 1/4 of my nymphs are beeded
  4. holy jeebus thats common!?
  5. crush kill destroy...... leave the cuttties alone fish more browns and bows.. do teh bully dealio of corse and chase more pike! steelies in a month then again in teh fall! hike into a few lakes ive bin meaning too for a few years now and chase lakers on teh fly..... and hit the bow as much as possible!
  6. too me its all about teh bows and browns mainily because they are teh hardest too catch pound for pound out fights a cutty brookie or whittie i love bulls and pike mainly for teh shear size these fish can get and predator nature.. nothing beats watching fish destroy another fish too me cutties are getting old.. easy too catch they do eat dries almost all teh time but they are poor fighters same with brookies... they would be jsut above the whittie in my books wich in my eyes dont fight worth a damn, are easy too catch and arnt too pretty too looke at... big lake whites tho are sweet! only because they have some jam but mainly because htey are in teh low too mid 20s and 5+ lb slabs.... it htink it all boils down too what you want too fish for.. if its all about numbers and being easy then whitties n cutties is were it is at.. if u want fish with jam go for bows n browns and if u want something that eats its babies chase bulls n pike and good table fair are brookie~!
  7. lmao.... that wish mustnt have came true.. bin putting a hurtin on tehm fish the past 2 days!

  14. yea im with lk on this one... have a few days were ive lost close too 100 flies.. sometimes it sems no matter what ya do u always connect with bottom or driftingg through without a bump... will never forget one day on the crow were me and a buddy lost almost every nymph we had.. was the tippets fault.. ran out of 3 x and had nothing but 5x left with was tough with taht " bowcrow" hookset..... we were down too nothing but streamers for the last few hours of the day.. was ridiculous!

  19. ye dude close enough~! for anyone wondering.. i trimmed a foot off the front end........ yea she can do taht if teh right indian is shooting teh arrow!
  20. like others have mentioned there are a number of different ways too fish your streamers.. u dotn fish 3 but have tried it.. jstu a pain in teh ass! but fishin a leech getting chased by a baitfish is deadly.. or fishing a larger fly too act more as a flasher and a little streamer trailing can be deadly.. same with fishing emergers and other swiming bugs ahead or behind a streamer! gotta love the double triple combos.. tehya re endless! mess aroud with some stuff dude and find what you dig!
  21. glad too hear u love it dude! told ya u would be diggin it.. one thing tho u have teh "still water" line... got a few of em on ym sticks n dig it ! the stream is a nice line too and the creek is stellar for shortrange!
  22. like others mentioned it is all prefrence... i like my tails long for more movement! looks good dude!
  23. got 12 days in last month dude 8 of em on teh bow! only one day this month tho. freakin work!
  24. if it were me i would go with a loop evotec or multi second too taht would be a bauer reel junior mac or rogue.... okuma helious si a nice reel too but dosnt have the lifetime warranty like teh otehr two.... ross reels also makes some dandy stuff!
