hayze07 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Looking for someone to tie some "go to" bull trout flies that i can purchase. I love fly fishing and i am planning to go on an adventure for them this fall and could use the help. All the flies i find in stores are not the greaest selection up in grande prairie. Pm me and we can work something out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 just grab a half bag of maribou and strap it to a hook! You could order the few things off one of the sponsors and DIY. Fish tales all so has a good selection, you cold call them up or check out the website to put together an order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadwatersHunter Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hey, I am just south of you in Grande Cache. I have some crazy patterns that will nab the big boys about 95% of the time. PM and let me know. Can always meet up at the Kakwa when the season opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebuck Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Just tie some rabbit fur to a 1/4 oz. Walleye jig and bomb the deepest pools you can. A fly rod is likely counter productive. A 10 inch rapala would be best. There is no way sink tips and lead wrap can sink a lure like a jig head can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 "There is no way sink tips and lead wrap can sink a lure like a jig head can. " That's why God invented long leaders and bead head flies. The floating line stays on top, the narrow diameter leader allows the weighted fly to go down without any line or sinktip being lifted by the faster flowing top water. There are other ways to get to the same place without gear chucking. Adapt. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish4trout Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 There are other ways to get to the same place without gear chucking. Adapt. j Gotta say...There are better alternatives to chucking flies in some cases. Not a hope in hell you are getting a streamer down to that bull in 15 feet of water as fast or as effectively as a 2oz jig. That is, if it is even getting into the proper depth zone. After all is it really flyfishing with a 8 inch streamer and a bunch of big ass splitshots? Maybe you should take your own advice and adapt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in a hurry I would be at work, not fishing. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bead head sparse minnow patterns and long leaders. Once you learn about river hydraulics, you'll understand: It doesn't take a lot of weight, it takes a little bit in the right place. It's what we learn and adapt to on real rivers, sonny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
