Had good luck this year on the the White and Taney with black body and copper wire and bead

Me and a Buddy will be down Thursday on the water in the afternoon, will try and stop by Lilleys later to say hi and drink a beer. Also fishing Friday am, but need to hit the road after lunch.

Bad weather is when the big browns come out to play, big flies and jerk baits can be on their menu
-
Accessing the Everglades at Everglades city is definitely is doable from a Kayak or Canoe, but it is a maze of canals and bays, so bring a GPS if you venture a long ways from the boat ramp thee. Also, Hopedale LA about 40 - 60 minutes from New Orleans is DIYable, thinking about doing it myself.

Never have, but might give it a go. Thanks. Love the man crafts

A couple that ties together stays together! Now she has to catch a fish with her flies
-
Nice! Captain Ian Slater will message you phone number, don't want the automated web scrappers grabbing it.. Also, the Angling Company fly shop is worth a visit if you have not been there.

Captain Ian is your man, He won the Gold cup Tarpon tournament 2024

Had a short trip to Key West, weather was beautiful came back right when cold snap hit. Totally understand why folks move down there. Still playing around with editing and camera. Here's a short video of a trip using a Johnny Cash song. Also, had a few shots at Permit, no go, I need to work on my game, heart was beating out of my chest, I get a little to excited Captain Ian is a great guide, let me know and I can give you his info if interested.

I tied two versions one with flexible wire, and one with rigid wire, the flexible wire can foul, but centrifigul force mostly kept it seperated, and I think when stripped through the water they will unfoul. The rigid wire version is basically foul proof.
-
I think so, you can mount lead dumbell eyes at the joint or on the point fly to add a little more weight. I'm planning on Taneyfest, will bring it down and you can give it a try if I can find it
-
Yes, casts ok with 6 weight better with a 8 weight, caught largemouth with it, but did not seem to perform any better than a single clouser, however did not to heavy trials/comparisons with it, but it catches fish. Really just did it for the novelty, and see if it would work.

Tied this up April 2022

Fall Creek Marina and There are some docks in between the landing and the water treatment plant. They have a sign advertising boat slip rentals, it's across from Kanakuk. Sorry don't know the number, but it's a part of a development so google maps might help.
-
Planning on Fishing Friday and Saturday, will join for dinner one night, boat can fish three folks. Of course, I have fly fishing gear for anyone interested
-
In middle of November 2019, up by the cable eddy, bluff blank, caught Whites, Crappie, Kentucky, and Smallmouth on this trip in the same place, spill gates where open, believe they where all coming over the top and hanging around the eddy. All caught stripping a streamer with a fly rod, caught trout too, incredibly fun, never new what you where going to get next.
-
I use Feather Craft quite a bit before, never checked out Bob Marriott's online shop, will give it a shot. Thanks!
-
On the Fly Shop talk, It looked like Dally's in Cotter was closed when I drove by last Friday, and someone also said they where having troubles?
-
What shop in Springfield?
-
Yes December 31st is the last day, this is one reason we put together the Fly Tying school, used to be held at K and K.
-
Thanks, also just found out Doug is an accomplished salmon fly tyer, but I don't think he bought any of that exotic stuff the "Feather Thief" guy stole
-
If you interested in learning how to ty flies, We are having a Fly Tying school, in KC area, checkout the flyer for details. Couple of very experienced instructors will be leading the class.
