Guest bigbadbrent Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 say you're restricted to one fly on the bow, be it a nymph, streamer, dry fly..anything..what would you use, and why? (i'd rather not have 100 replies about SJW's, even though we all know their effectiveness) Also, anyone interested in having a little one fly contest, maybe before run-off next year. Get a bunch of guys on the forum to go out (can fish after you lose ur one fly, but they dont count anymore)...could be just a fun little thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flytyer Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Is this a tying contest or a fishing contest? Sounds like a fishing contest to me which means this should be posted else where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbowtrout Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 A green and White Clouser minnow for me. It just seems to be a good go to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rocknbugs Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 If I could only use 1 fly, I would go with a Bow River Bugger white or black, or I would go with one of the Hares Ears I tie myself. I also like the idea of a 1 fly fishing contest and am in if it takes place. Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JayVee Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've often thought about this. I call it my "desert island fly" ie if the Bow were on a desert island and you could only bring one fly... For me it would undoubtly be a BH Prince. I've caught more fish on that thing than anything else, by far. The other day I was at Southland and caught 2 in a row on the Prince. I started switching it up just to see and nothing. I put the Prince on again and first cast...FISH ON! Incidentally, I've tried a SJW many times and nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong with this fly...you guys seem to be having so much success with it. As a variation I've thought about one fly from each category...Dry, Nymph and Streamer. For the dry category it would have to be an Elk Hair Caddis. I've never caught one on a streamer :-( Interesting topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenbow Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Don't kid yourselves. This is no contest, it is a thread about the Wire SJW, with a timmie's in one hand. Sorry BBB, it's just true. Ugly, but true. I salute you, DavDev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenbow Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 You are right Hawg, I could have sworn I made it up, but now that you mention it I remember that. Dang! I'll never make genius at the rate I'm going. Sorry bro, no thunder stealing intended. My public flogging may now commence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
