Foghorn

Good friend and fishing buddy Kenny H. was there with his 2 sons, one of the son's friends and his boss. Kenny had 2 lunkers and his boss 1 with Kenny's weighing 3 3/4 # and 6 1/4 and his bosses fish a 5 1/2 # fish. He left with the 3 younger lads to Bennett Springs where the youngest son had a 4 1/4 # fish. Said he's heading home this afternoon and headed to Montauk tomorrow with his daughter and son in law.

Sounds like a good name for an Asian dish!

Awesome setup !

I was fishing above the main bridge next to an old timer one opening. The water was low enough that we were fishing towards the bridge. At the siren the gentleman cut loose a cast but got a little too much air under it. I watched it clear the water and land amongst the people standing on the bridge. I told him don't set the hook ,you're jig is up among those people. One guy in the crowd threw it into the water.

Enjoyed the video, thanks.

Great colors on that fish. Wow!

I know the feeling as in the past, I've been the " Michael Phelps" of the trout parks. I do like to take the plunge when it's a little warmer.

That would be a good fly for my brothers to use. Catches fish ,quick and easy to tie. They tend to lose or give away a lot of the flies I give them!

I tie some emerger patterns on size 18 and 20 Tiemco 2457 and 2487 hooks. That works best when I use a magnifying lamp so as not to crowd the eye of the hook. It can get challenging tying them on 6-7x on the stream.

That will be fun and interesting to fish!

Might get dual use out of those as Christmas ornaments! good looking Clousers.

It's ALIVE!

Excellent tying Pat_ we've caught a lot of big fish on that pattern.

Ah say , ah say, now thats a chicken boy.

Wonder if they stocked some browns? That would be nice to see some survivors make it to decent size.

Bet you remember the details pretty closely on those trips with old friend- that helps.

I'd hate to venture a guess on what those hooks would cost at cost.

Nice outfit on Phil with the gym shorts over the pj's/sweats.

I use to tie a lot of zebra midges in the dark brown and either copper bead and wire or in gold. Not sure it looked much different than the black zebra midge when it got good and wet. I tie more RFSN with gold or copper beads and wire anymore. Got a good deal 20 years ago or so on Tiemco hooks from Jerry at Weaver's Tackle. He sold them to me at cost which at the time was $10 a hundred. Buddy, Danny decided he wanted some so he said just double the order and I'll pay you half. He was shocked when I told him I had ordered 1500 for both he and I. I assured him that if he didn't want all or part of his share, I would keep the entire order. It wasn't like they were going to go bad. He got his half!

Those thread midges will work! I still have a few hundred of those TMC's around but I also bought them several years ago.

Awesome colors!

Marty, you got a "very good" from Susie and two grandsons who are here for the weekend!

Especially the daddy! Kid is brutally honest.

Youngest granddaughter who is 10 saw a picture of me at 20 years old. She turned and looked at me (almost 72) and said "oh Papa, what happened to you"!

Danny makes 3 of the older group we've lost plus his son and my son out of the next generation.
