    Rubber legs. I have silicone but they just don't swim right and are better for hoppers.

    Guy wanted some bluegill pattern lunch monies so I tied him some. Wanted an articulated one, too, so I got creative. Then I decided to make a rainbow pattern. No legs because of the Trophy Area on Taney. @Phil Lilleycouldn't get down this week due to job interviews but I will be down next week around this time. I'll stop by and let you take a look and if you want to try and sell some you can!

    First time my grandpa used one he was 15-years old. His family had a farm that backed up to Middletown Lake near Montgomery City. He says he threw across a mouth of a cove and a 4-5 lb fish hit. He lost it. The next four casts he caught four bass 4.5 lbs. Said they were identical. Of course that was the day and age of catch and keep, so he loaded up the stringer and great grandma fried them up with frog legs for dinner for the 20+ people at the house. He used that thing religiously and swears by it. He's too afraid to use any of the ones today.

    You old guys and your banter. I'll have my grandpa send a pic of our (his?) lure collection back in St. Louis. His favorite lures growing up were the Heddon Sonic and Shore Minnow. In fact, I see a Coachdog Sonic right in the middle there @fishinwrench

    I'll tie some up. @dpitt and I are going to hit up Clinton up here and try and get some whites and wipers this spring.

    Thanks! I like the red and white idea! Just trying to think outside the box. The White especially is just bombarded with the same colors and profiles constantly. Fly tying is about experimentation, I figure!

    Did some size 4 and in more natural colors. Seems everybody throws white/chartreuse and olive/yellow so thought I'd change some up. Added a helmet to some instead of eyes, too.

    Thanks! Yea, I don't like them too bulky. They tend to parabola in the water column, even with sinking line, with too much deer hair.

    Not me but have seen it. My buddy was throwing a streamer on the Current once and a big brown came out and ate it like you said, hard-charging and all. I'm watching it and 2-3 sec go by and I scream "SET THE FREAKING HOOK!" He got the front hook under its jaw but it jumped and spit it. To make matters worse he trout set, too. We laugh about it now, but sheesh.

    Truth! Been tying all weekend and it's already Sunday evening. Still thinking about that brownie..

    Well after having a very big brown move and try to eat a double deceiver Tuesday I hit the vise. Playing around with a lot of combos with deer hair (hate), craft fur, marabou, and color patterns. I need to get the heads finalized and I'd be confident in selling them. I've been using the fish masks but I am going to try the Solar EZ Flex resin and see how that works out. Any feedback is welcomed. I'd be willing to swap with folks as well! Did I mention I hate deer hair? My rainbow attempt:

    Agree with the Taneycomo rule. Last summer I watched a guy on full plane weave in and out of all the boats (20 or so) from Fall Creek to Short Creek. He came within 15-ft of them. It was one of the most ignorant and dangerous things I've seen on the water. Everybody was yelling at him but he just kept going. Sometimes you just have to idle, and that is ok. People seem to be in such a rush and somebody is going to get hurt. I am honestly surprised nobody has died on Taneycomo over the last three years, and that scares me.
  13. Ryan Miloshewski
    what colors did you use?
  14. Ryan Miloshewski
    EP or craft fur? Look great!
  15. Ryan Miloshewski
    @fishinwrenchI threw a double deceiver Tuesday afternoon until the sun came out. First cast I had a ~10 lb brown follow it all the way to the boat. Rolled on it and missed it. Came back then just went back down. I'm currently tying more deceivers and peanut envies.

    Caught a, presumably, used condom once. That was neat.

    I went out and walked 2 miles on a CA near me last weekend. I only saw one rabbit and one squirrel--no shots were fired, dude. I love eating both, just usually take opportunistic shots at them while waterfowl hunting. Next year I am going to make it a habit to deer and small game hunt, too. (I say that now). Buttermilk fried rabbit or squirrel dumplings are about the best. I'm jealous.

    Weed isn't even a real drug, nor is it causing any more issues (I'd argue less) than alcohol. I don't partake but know a few people who do. The state and letter boys realized they didn't have their grubby hands in it so here we are.

    Specks are as fine an eating bird as any I've ever had. They might be my favorite, honestly. Glad you got into em.
  20. Ryan Miloshewski
    Just hung the birds in my refrigerator. You have to make sure the ducks you pick to age aren't shot up in the body. That way the guts aren't causing any issues. Highly recommend aging ducks if you haven't done it before. Changes the texture and flavor quite a bit (in a good way).

    Pan seared mallard I aged for one week back in late November. Added fresh rosemary to the duck fat and basted the last minute or so. Game changer. Complete with a horseradish cream sauce. If you don't like duck, you've never had 'em cooked like this.
  22. Ryan Miloshewski
    They love trout eggs. Can't use them, obviously, but I'll bet you can catch them on a crystal meth or an egg cluster fly. Corn, nightcrawler, etc. all seem to work. I've even caught some on Lilley's jigs on the bottom. Just score the meat and fry. Absolutely delightful.
  23. Ryan Miloshewski
    I really like whites and stripers, too. Some people hate em. Generally the people who love crappie and walleye . How could I forget a fresh sucker from a cold, Ozark stream? That may be numero uno.
  24. Ryan Miloshewski
    Tend to agree, but this was one of the best meals I've had. On the Niangua couple winters ago.
  25. Ryan Miloshewski
    Everybody likes walleye because it's a novelty not readily caught. It's a flaky white fish..good, but highly overrated. Same with crappie. Crappie is just a flaky white fish. Just fine, but not the best. Sometimes I think people like crappie and walleye because of the lack of flavor. Bluegill and white bass are way better than those two. Also, any saltwater fish will blow a freshwater fish out of the water nine times out of ten.
