  1. yea that's what I thought and now if I could find some bulk line to fill the spools with that would save me a lot of money on tippet vs buying the spools of tippet that's why I was wondering if I could just buy line in the same diameter of tippet and use it.
  2. You guys should check out these spools I found called tippet boss u can use a drill to fill the spools.
  3. 1st question : Is there anyone out there not using fluorocarbon. I have always used it but this last weekend on tanney I bought the cheaper non fluorocarbon and fished midges with low water and got lots of fish. Made think if there was really that much difference? 2nd question I have what's the difference in tippet material vs. regular fishing line. Why can't I buy bigger spools of 2ib line for example and use it for tippet is there really that much difference or is it just a market game they play? Thanks
  4. Just was trying to see how things were going here. Anyone with some updates would be appreciated and what flies are working
  5. I got a error all day
  6. KCC feathers anyone used it or heard about it? Does anyone use any other brand of hackle and was it worth it other then the name brand expensive hackle?
  7. anyone seen these or had a chance to throw one? Looking for some reviews
  8. i mainly fish tanney but was wondering how many different color midges do u carry.. If you tie 5 different sizes then have to tie them in all these different colors then thats alot of midges. LOL just wanted to get a imput on what you guys do?
  9. I have a eagle 176 and I use the one that came with the boat. It's a small garmin but it is useless other then a depth finder so I'd like to see what others recommend. I don't want to spend a fortune but I think I liked something with side imaging but don't know much about it. butt far as catching bass on fly I'm no expert but would imagine u would want a full sink line
  10. I know this is probley not in the right section but knew alot of the fly fisherman look at this section so that is why I placed it here. I do alot of trout fishing on tanney. I dont live in the area but do have a lake house here. I recently got a helios 8wt and was wondering where around the branson/ kimberling city area where i could take my 17 ft boat with 40hp to get in on some white bass fishing with a fly rod this spring. I have never done it but heard it was alot of fun. So figured you guys could help me out on where i can put in and fish that was public. Also would like to hear what some of your favorite fly's so i know what i could be tying this winter to accomplish this. Thanks for all the help
  11. can you give us some tips when u say trolling motor techniques?
  12. Im going be in fort Collions and denver area in few weeks. Anyone know where I could fish without a boat. Any help would be appriciated
  13. Hey MaxDrown was you talking about June or July month. I dont get that magazine so thought I might pick one up to read the article?
  14. So for trout and 5 wt or 3 et u just use a smaller piece of mono is that correct. I was thinking of going and buying some stern fishing line of different pound test and making leaders that tapered that way. Anyone have any reviews with that method
  15. Anyone make there own leaders for trout and if so what formula do you use. Thanks
  16. Thanks.for the tips! Yea in my researched talk.to a.bunch.of.people that say they go solo.in there drift boats
  17. Looking at purchasing a drift boat. Never rowed one but fished out of one a couple times. I will ocanssionly have 3 people total but alot of times I will be solo so was wondering if you drift boat people could give me some reviews ideas ect to help me research on the right boat. Most of my fishing is on tanney and the white river. been looking at the head water skiff anyone know anything about it. Well if you could give me your ideas on drift boats it would be greatly appricited. Thanks
  18. I fish a lot midges as much as my fishing is on tanney. Im trying to make room in my fly boxes and was wondering how many differnt sizes of midges do you carry. I carry 16-20 on every size but thinking of just carrying 18's. but would like to see what you all thought?
  19. i wanting to use it on the fly tying station
  20. I see alot of these swaps sounds fun. Im still a fairly new tyer So dont think it would work for me but would love to have someone post a pic of the flies when they are done
  21. Im looking a fly box similiar to this one. Like the ones you see in fly shops. Anyone know where you can purchase one? Thanks
  22. Anyone ever tried these hooks? I have read some good reviews and read they are a twin to tmc just different label. For the price seems hard not to try? Any advice or comments from anyone here would be great
  23. I want to clean my line and put new dressing on it but the problem is I have no line dressing and no where around here t get any. I have read online to use armor then I read not to so would like some opinions from you folks here is it safe to use it or not and have you had any experience with using it for this .
