Yes you can... Rules are at the top of page 2, please read. I added a simple one later, please add your OAF handle/name to the return address of the flies.

I joined the Flyfishers at the Crossing because I had a friend there. Gavin if you can connect me that would be awesome.

Anyone know a certified casting instructor in STL? I want to learn single hand spay casting and they can not do that Feathercraft. The practice area is to narrow. Or... if you are really good at and would like to share, I can pay in six packs.

I subscribe also. Is it true he left the Ozarks for the Northeast? I always wanted to get a guided trip from him.

LOL... you all interesting folks around here. Actually, that makes a lot of sense. In northeast Kansas you were lucking to see down a couple of feet in any water. If it was spring feed, normally there was a green tint to pond water from alge.

Hey team... reminder. Not critical, but helpful, please put your OAF name in your return address. And... if you can, please put a tag on each fly with your OAF name. Thanks in advance, Mic

LOL... why not call it snagging then... is this an Ozark woke thing. Just kidding, don't pull my membership card.

Excuse my city slicker question... does grabbing mean hand fishing?

I watched this one after Billetheads. Very good video:

Wow

Standard 4x long streamer hook; in this case size 4 Black Tungsten Bead size 3/16 slash 4.6mm Red thread for the nose. Make a small football shape nose and add thread until the bead tightly fits on the thread ball. A two turn whip finish on the hook side and cut. Add some head cement or hard as nails and shove the bead in place locking it in and leaving the slightest bit of red on the nose. I got this on a YouTube tie off on the Orvis page. Works well. White thread for the body 10-12 turns of lead or lead substitute. Tail: UV2 Marabou Silver Dun - 1.5 x the hook length - I didn't pick this because of the UV, but the color was perfect for the fly Body: Dub on Ice Dub UV Gray - Just use to level out the body and cover the lead. Body: Cascade Hackle Flash UV Mylar and Tri Lobal - color Silver. Tied in at the back and wrapped forward. I built my first one with the black also. As you wrap pull the tensile back like a wet fly wrap. Head: 2 clumps of Ice Dub UV Gray - I tie in a clump on both side of the head, fold it back and overwrap. Tie off and use a brush to brush everything back. Note... I have not had the chance to try this in the water yet, but I got it from a YouTuber that was doing well with it in the Ozarks; specifically Bennett. He didn't add the clumps on the head, but I thought it was to thin. Hey it works for him though. He said it works on all game fish, but called it Trout Candy. His YouTube handle is Fly Fishing with Jeff. Jeff if you are on here, thanks for the videos.

You are welcome. Please go to the beginning of thread and read the rules. Please send me an message with your address.

No offense taken... I thought your post may have been satirical, but you never want to ask a woman with a pouch how far along she is until you know for sure which way that conversation goes. LOL

Not too late if you can whip up 10 in two weeks.

My fish candy. Not great at pics. I got two of ten done. I picked a UV marabou because of the normal color, not UV. I threw a UV light on it and it turns slightly purple. Interesting.
