Nice!

Just saw that a 13 year old girl drowned at Dawt either today or yesterday. I cant even imagine.i guess their will be even more calls to fix the dam or tear it down.

Brantley, our oldest that was posted a while back we think is 6. He was a walmart parking lot dog. Really has been a great one . Gilbert (red collar) and Harold (blue collar) were rescued from some lady who could no longer take care of them. They are actually brothers from separate litters and we think they are about 2. They have each gained a pound or two since we got them back in March, they were very, very skinny. They actually will go on point sometimes which is pretty funny to watch.

Bringing back an old and dead thread.. We added a pair to our herd.

I have got a newer pair of korkers. Same deal. BOA laces, interchangable soles. I LOVE the studded soles over the all rubber. Feels like you are glued to the rocks. Mine are the small studded ones. I think you can find a pair at bass pro.

As the owner of 3 small dogs I agree. I rarely pick up poo in the backyard and only step in it 2 or 3 times a year. I don't know where it goes, and don't really care. I guess the birds or something eat it, not my problem. HOWEVER one of the three takes giant poops. He left one on the rug the other day, and if I hadn't caught him in the act I would have thought someone broke in through the back door, took nothing, and left a giant steaming pile for me on the rug.

I Tie on Both. I really like the B10S but the problem they have is a shorter shank relatively. Gama has some Great streamer hooks. I tie quite a bit on Tiemco 8089, the Partridge Attitude hook is a great one too if you want a straight eye, true bend hook instead of the stinger bend. All preference, and they all have a place.

You shut your mouth! I mean you can have your opinion, but I can think its wrong! I'm a big fan of the series and what I think makes it soo great is the extreme amount of detail that goes into it all. Sure there is a lot of stuff and it does drag sometimes but where the beauty in it lies is that it has basically crafted an entire world for you to read about. There is history available "the Tales of Dunk and Egg" the Princess and the queen that details the Dance of the Dragons that essentially began to end the Targaryen line, you can see info that leads back to all of the Blackfyre rebellions and what caused them. That's probably my favorite part about the series is how much there is, and every word is thought out for so many pages. I enjoy the show too but hate what they have done with a few of the character's arcs so far and how it is all changing, but I do know they have to streamline the whole series as well.

I think your hardest colors are going to be your naturals. You can google mixes to use to get certain color combos with koolaide. I think something like olives, tans etc. will be what give you the most trouble.

I've used Kool-aid and vinegar to die pheasant tail feathers before and it works really well in the microwave. I'm sure the fox will take the color well... at least I would think. I'd be interested to know what a full pelt is running you. That'd be an investment for sure.

Wiggle Minners with synthetic tails have always been my best. I like marabou but I think anything with real weight kills the wiggle a bit. I fish a LOT of the geen foam cylindered ones with olive slinky hair in the tail. It's a killer fly.

Have you ever toyed around with sinking/sink tip lines and big flies? make sure to duck! For what it's worth when I am throwing a sinking line I like unweighted flies much more than something weighted. If you are casting big wind resistant flies you'll want 10 or 12 to turn it over. anything less than that and your fly won't flip and will pretty much just collapse when you shoot. I just use a loop to loop connection like SIO3.

Depends on the size of the fly but I like to just fish 3 to 4 feet of straight ten pound.

See you there Billet!

Mine have hit the mail.

I'm here. Haven't had time to go to the post office. It's my busy season at work and I'm lucky if I get to spend 10 minutes off of the phone. I will try to get over there in an hour or so If I can sneak away for a few minutes.

Good stuff. I think you will like it a lot.

Going to disagree with you on this one. Anytime i get fish on a swing it is either right when my fly hits the water or after my fly has turned broadside or started coming back facing upstream. If you look into a lot of the swinging stuff from steel head guys out west they always try to keep their fly broadside as much as possible to be the most visible.

Just like any swung streamer I never like to set with the hook straight up. Keep your rod tip pointed not directly at, but in the general direction of your fly. Set the hook low not up, or a strip set but don't hammer them. Let them get the hook. It was a feel thing for me and took a while but that's just what works for me.

Can I mail these yet? I am going to lose them if I have to keep them for much longer. Plus who knows when I will actually get around to shipping them once I have decided to..

If this is in response to Trigg saying that they are getting a few and doing ok... I have seen plenty of pictures of some good fish coming out of the White right now. Sure it may be tougher than usual but figuring them out in that water is part of the reward itself. Just because people aren't posting pictures here doesn't mean that they aren't elsewhere, or that it isn't happening. I have yet to see Trigg push his business himself on this board at all. He's the good peoples.

YES!

I think that there are more big browns in Taney than anyone actually knows. I'm just surprised more people don't catch them. I know some real big ones come out every year but I think if someone spent enough time on a streamer or jerkbite game they might be able to get some figured out.

Yes. I have been letting the paint dry then just supergluing them on. I'm out of the UV stuff and haven't got around to getting more, and a new light. I just don't trust the paint to have a strong enough hold on the eyes to keep them down. If I had uv I probably would just set them onto the paint, and when that was dry UV over the top of all of that.
