Feels downright balmy here at 20. Pat's birds have been through 50 pounds of black oil sunflower seed during this dip in the deep freeze.

Ours too Ham. Went into the post yesterday. We are looking forward to everyone's contribution.

that is no heavier than your articulated streamers that have bigger hooks. It isn't as heavy as a tungsten bead with a few lead wraps.

One more of these for awhile. I'm getting tired of looking at them. As per @Flysmallie whining about the heavyweight version being just what it is heavy I give you the lightweight with plastic eyes. It sinks slowly with the hook end pulling it down. On to something else. Thanks for the input Ronnie and @tjm. I think if a person did one on a lightweight hook like a smaller Dai Rikki 270 or a Tiemco 200R using boobies eyes (not the big obtrusive double d size) they would suspend perfect on a two to three foot leader on a sink tip line. This could be a fun deal.

Hang in their buddy it's fixing to change to the better.

Heat wave -2 forecast is looking good!

Chuck and duck.

Yes, they would work fine here doing just that. The guy in the video is doing that. We have a friend who is a forum member on here. He was on the USA flyfishing team and fished completive all over. If I could remember his username on here I would drag him out and tell us how he fished those flies. Where are you at Randy Haner?

AND pay attention @Flysmallie if you want to fish booby flys you have to do it this way and talk this way,

Alright Mr smarty-pants, Just for you Ronald. Craft foam instead of lead. Its that thin stuff. Sections super glued on both sides of the hook shank behind the bead chain eyes. If it is still too heavy use those plastic ones. After glue was set started wrapping easy and working a taper. As you know it's easy to crush this foam. After a basic body is made I spread a light layer of UV glue then zapped it. Hardened up perfect. Finished wrapping a thread layer and made the bug eyed critter just like the leaded one. Now we have an unleaded big eyed bug also. Still rides hook up. So which one is leaded and which one is unleaded Ronnie? 😆 On bench and in the water.

One thing about it spring will come one way or another. My phone just about every day brings up memories from this day. So, on this day in 2017 on a farm pond this happened. Thought I would share on this cold day there are better days ahead. Just so you know that is my fist in the mouth of that bass.

Pat said you looked mighty cold Wednesday morning on one cast.

I was really surprised getting out today since the storm. Four to five inches at home. Dirt road was fantastic. One we drive to blacktop was so wind blown it was mostly dirt. Secondary blacktop in shelterd places just a little packed snow. 54 highway clean. Most of Eldorado springs roads clear. Kudos to Modot. Wind helped them this time!

Thanks Ronnie, When I get the lighter version done if its a success will run it by you.

Bummer Dutch!
