For me it depends if I am throwing a floating or sinking line. For a floating line, it is usually 2-3 feet of 12 pound, 2-3 feet of 10 pound and 2-3 feet of 8 pound, tip that with a foot of 6 pound tippet. That seems to roll flies over pretty easily for me. When your using a floating line and still want to get your fly down it's much easier for that fly to pull down your leader and tippet instead of the fly line. There is a fine balance between allowing your fly to sink as deep as possible and what is castable. If I am throwing a sinking line it's 3-4 feet, of straight line. Recently for my small (ish) stuff it has been 6 pound flouro.

I enhanced it a bit but the color was even better than the picture. We did about as Well as anyone there fishing except for a select few. And No. Brian doesn't tie that fast in person.

We Headed down to fish the while below Bull Shoals Dam for the opening of the catch and release are today, lumped in with the streamer love fest event at Dallys. The fishing was great, catching decent, and got colder as the day went on. Seven of the eight fish we caught came on simi-seal leeches stripped back through the current. I did get one on a headbanger sculpin and had another come unbuttoned. All rainbows except for one brown and man were they colored up today. This little fella bit off a bit more than he could chew. We wrapped up and Headed over to Dallys and had a blast over there. Watched THE Brian Wise tie for a while as Well as some of the guides. Met Trigg and a few other people as Well. They had some rocking BBQ, and gave a ton of free stuff away. I'll definitely be back down there before too long,

Awesome video.

Was the tub filled specifically for the purpose of testing this frog fly or was an actual bath the result of filling the tub, and fly testing just happened to take place?

Yes it was a pick play. Are pick plays illegal? Yes. If you watch the play in slow motion welker lays the wood before the ball gets there. Not by much, but he beats the ball. Regardless this is now illegal. Welker drops his shoulder into Talib. I don't see him doing much turning away, he just isn't hitting him with his face, and even if there was helmet to helmet I still doubt they would call it. Just because the Broncos are masters of the pick play doesn't mean that they are still an illegal football play. Every team uses pick plays, and often but more teams get called on them than does Denver. The pass interference to me was a joke when called against NE on Hoomawananui (sp?) but they let the Welker hit go? I've never been a big Peyton fan either. Yes he is an incredible football player, but he, like Brady has had a lot of help along the way all the while masking deficiencies on their team. He seems to be super humble but a lot of times, to me, it at least feels like he doesn't care much about whatever team he is playing and that they shouldn't be allowed to step on the field when in his prescence. I think Sherman is a clown, however I would rather see some emotion like that than what Peyton does. Football is supposed to be fun. They are making millions of dollars to play a game.

Magic?

I absolutely am. I don't think Welker intended to injure, but it happened on an illegal play that the officials have refused to call against Denver all year long. Can both teams lose?

Talib was beat so there was no need for it. He hunched over and hit the guy shoulder first. Either way it should have been offensive PI.

Wait til later this week when the big bettors start making their choices. Everybody is swinging the line with a million small bets at the moment. If you do bet I'd wait for it to stabilize.

You know the refs have done a good job when you don't even know they are there. Coming from someone who works in and around a lot of officiating that was horrendous. It will be interesting to see how the crew who works the superbowl calls the game. Denver's receivers have gotten away with more illegal pick, rub route plays than anyone else I have ever seen before ( yes, I know every team does it) . The Welker pick on Talib was as blatant as it gets and Denver hasn't been called on it all year long. Then you have Seattle's outstanding, defensive corps. They have gotten away with more mugging for a defensive secondary than any team in the league I think this year. Look at the Boldin touchdown. It wouldn't have made a difference on the play but you can't watch that and honestly say that it was not defensive holding, or illegal contact more than five yards down the field. It Should have been Pass Interference because the ball was already in the air. I hope the seahawks win the game if only because I hate Denver. I respect the man for what he has done this year and in his career that doesn't stop me from having a blind, irrrational hate for the man and any team he has ever been associated with has absolutely killed the Chiefs, especially in the playoffs. I do hope Sherman gets TORCHED all game long though but Seattle still wins the game.

Did you have NRO run a shuttle for you? They did tell me they shuttled someone in a driftboat yesterday. I fished your streamer from the Brown Trout swap and I think I was going a little big. I'd like to do it again before the summer crowds get to bad, but I would rather float down to Barclay and just run my own shuttle with another car. What color (eggs, beads, y2k's) do you guys usually fish.

I did have one fish take an egg, but my egg selection is sorely lacking. I have two or three eggs in my whole box that are what I would call fishable.

Floated this afternoon and it was a great day.did four miles from Bennett to NRO . Fun little float that I'd never done before. I threw mostly meat all day hoping to pull good fish. I should have played the number game and nymphed all day but Oh Well. Stopped for a good lunch. Around 230 an Awesome little caddis hatch came off. I broke off a fish on a soft hackle and my girl had Two come unbuttoned on a stonefly. One we almost had but it got hung up on a log. Within sight of the takeout this broke the skunk. I got the veto on naming the canoe after that bad boy. I thought "bit o chub" had a Nice ring to it.

Filthy. Ride point up?

Yes. It's actually pretty good.

From what I can tell It's bucktail and a lot of ccg. Ccg eyes are Awesome. The fishskull eyes are good too for the money. I've been filling up my boxes of the small stuff recently. Copper Jon's, scuds and pheasant tails.

This looks like an awesome fly for hybrids. I'll have to add a couple to my box. What kind of beads are you using there?

In.

This. No it's not a secret, but I'm sure someone fishes it a lot and figured out there were smallmouth there. Now that little tidbit they found is getting advertised by someone who doesn't fish an area particularly often.

The trout park isn't the secret. The smallmouth there might not have been either, but it sure didn't need advertising about the great fishing.

This place just tends to be a little more personal than eBay is all he is asking. I don't mind fs ads like this however, Why are you selling it? Do you have factory pictures or your own? Stuff like that.

You got it
