  1. Shaping the foam with scissors first... then hand sanding them down... was a fun project for sure!
  2. It will start out looking like this.... just an ordinary early morning... plenty of room for a few people...
  3. Put an eye only on the belly - it works! (upper right) My eyes are all for show... they never stay on.
  4. This coming year is different. Many will attend.
  5. You must come see the scuds here for yourself - scoop up a handful of gravel... find out what color for the day!
  6. Some might recognize the floor as Lilley's check in :
  7. Foam really works well for bass flies - and I use all blank for ants and beetles. The key is to have VARIETY. Not all the same shape and size drives fish crazy. I like that shade of yellow because I am color blind. Fish like it too, especially in the early AM. the fly below is painted foam - QTpie Ants are favorite - but these little yellow things come off right away - poo
  8. Update to the pile... it NOW has a little sister pile just downstream... and she is growing...
  9. Tell her how jealous I am! Great looking fish and even better smile.
  10. Jaycee always knows when I'm going fishing... ADMIN - if I have posted this in the wrong place, thanks kindly for moving it.
  11. Holy bananas - those photos are so very good... Wow - now I want to go see that for myself.
  12. Rick - I never saw the man again... I was able to hang onto three soft hackles he gave me for a long time - like 8 years.... He taught me a special lesson - the greatest gift I will ever know. To be more curious. Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome. oh yeah - I was always heading to the Big Hole... fishing Muddlers as dry flies in the moonlight til 5am.
  13. My buddies are telling me and more about this technique of fly rod Euro Nymphing. I thought I knew it as high sticking... but there is a lot more to it. Can someone tell it like it is ? What's the skinny ? Thanks.
  14. Incredible shots of that lesser known waterway. Utterly breathtaking.
  15. What a great looking spot I haven't found yet... thanks for sharing...
  16. Only 342 days away... plan to be there... its always a blast!
  17. Instructions for those who missed it.
