Now that's a pig!

I went in this afternoon to get some stuff to tie a couple of wiggle minnows. Awesome store, Awesome owners, I stayed in and just chatted for a bit and couldn't be happier with how the store is looking, the selection, or the customer service. And they have CCG which I have seriously considered getting, and may just have to take the plunge now. They told me that they could put orders in for stuff if they didn't have what you were after too!

Try a longer sink tip than four feet. More of the line getting down might pull it down better than the four feet you were throwing.

This. I like this very much. While I liked the relaxed atmosphere of BCO there was literally nothing to choose from.

I just can't get over how absolutely clear that water is, Fantastic!

Kinda what I was thinking, then again there may have just been some fibers floating around in the air? Just finished watching it on facebook and that is wicked cool man, wicked cool. You think the CCG is a worthy investment? I have been decideing whether to try some out or not... I also heard they were working on a formula for rod builders to eliminate rod wraps which i think would be pretty cool.. but that could just be hearsay.

I've thrown dylan and jason's, may go hit up taney tonight though and give them another shot.

I haven't heard or read anything that would indicate that that was a new rule.

I fished a few of the flies on thursday night. Unfortunately swpa decided to run water all night on thursday when they said they were going to shut it down. Dylans is awesome looking in the water, until I bounced it off of a rock and bent the propeller. Thankfully I was able to straighten it. Jason's fly drew a pretty good strike but I missed the hookset, right towards the end of the swing. I didn't fish anyone elses flies, but they are there just waiting for a chance to hit the water.

I think that I'll be fishing on thursday night, I definitely am going to catch some fish on these flies. It's nice being in a swap where everyone doesn't put out the exact same fly. Everyones was not radically, but pretty different and has it's own application.

They shut off real bad for me this summer too, I had a few eats but was tying to actually hook them, to no avail. Come august, there weren't even that many gulping air where I fish for them.

My pleasure hosting everyone. It made for a real cool kitchen table with all of these sitting on it!

Good to know people are starting to get them! Can someone post pictures of the flies by chance so non-swap members can see the skinny on this thing?

Flies went out this morning. should be everywhere in the next day or two!

DaddyO, I have fished some articulated stuff at night. I have had some success this summer on it, especiallly on circus peanuts. I also had a monster smash and missed hook up on a mufasa at the very beginning of summer at night. At night I don't do a whole lot of stripping flies unless its just back to me. I swing pretty much all of my flies and the ones that present a "jiggy" motion have caught more fish for me this summer. I have caught less fish than if I was fishing smaller flies in the 8-12 range but ALL of them have been decent fish, the smallest of which was a chunky 16 incher, and a male rainbow that had to be a solid 23 or so, one of those fish that actually got put on the reel.

Flies WILL BE going out on monday! Quote it. I apologize if this is later than some people want, doing what I can to get this wrapped up as fast as I can.

I'll try and start the packaging of them tonight watching the game on DVR. I went from to my normal 20 hr. a week schedule plus classes to having a day shorter (monday) and probably going to put in close to fifty. Im not making excuses but so you guys don't get too worried, I'm working on it.

I was view # 15 on youtube. Definition. of. awesome. I like the zoomed in view too, and quality is astounding. Plus it's a super cool, albeit time consuming fly.

Got OB's first set, or one of them in this evening. I'll try to get them out as soon as possible because I know fish are going to start moving. This is just not a good week conducive to getting these done but i'll seriously work on it. I"ll post when the flies go out.

Eh, end of next week at worst case scenario, OB if we get both sets i'll hook you up, if one comes in after I ship everyones out i'll send the set back your way!

As soon as I get OB's in i'll get them out when I can. If they come in today, then I will TRY to get them out tomorrow. If they come in tomorrow, they will go out sometime next week FOR SURE.

We used to have some family friends that had a house about a 30 minute float from the MO/AR border. There are infact small mouth down there an a lot of them, I also saw what was probably a 5-6 pound largemouth get pulled out of a small little depression that gave a break from the current. Very pretty area!

Brian's are in, just waiting on one more set!

There are always some there, but the big ones move, for example I caught two at night about a month ago, last July another forum member I fish withcaght a thirty incher at night.

If someone can I'd like that also, the only camera I have is on my phone, Brian or someone else that can take some pictures of these awesome flies when they get them?
