Not at all Randy.

Been doing a little tying last few days. Practice and getting used to the material is making a huge difference. Here is some that i am pretty proud of. I will continue to update you all as i progress. Oh yea i need to remember to tie the dark color on top.

Mine looks about the same

You should of at least waited for a reply. I would have told you if i was not interested. Lost interest? I PM you about the sale. Lesson learned !!

That is pretty shady on your part. Don't Tread on me!!

Good idea.Let me get the one color down then i will try the 2 color combo.

@tjm Not so much trying the Duane technique. Probably just pulling out due to not getting wrapped. I will have to pay closer attention to it. It only happened on the last pictured Jig. The other ones are very heavily wrapped as you can see.

i just started tying Jigs about a month ago and finally got a little setup. These are some of my practice creations. Learning how to use tools techniques and watching videos. I think the hardest part so far has been keeping the maribeau intact after i wrap it with thread. It seems to pull out if i brush my fingers thru it. maybe i am not wrapping it tight enough. It will get better with time. These look a little ruff. Defiantly room for improvement.

Im not at all familiar with bass fishing on the Rock. But this sounds like fun, I could get to know fellow anglers and you can give me your secret holes..LOL Kidding aside I am seriously thinking of doing it this year. Jeff again you put on another great event and I thank you for bringing us all together.

Ian and I got at holiday island at 8 it was cold and windy. Ian is under dressed as usually for the conditions. We made the run up to 62 bridge. Pulled off behind a little slack water where we could throw jigs in on both sides of current. Ian hooked up first with a nice bow. then again a little bit later. I took my fish just floating down and hitting pockets total 4 bows and 1 crappie for me. Ian ended up with some solid bows total 4. Great day very blistery running that far. If i would do it again i would have put in at houseman ramp instead of holiday island. Thank goodness i did not start at eagle rock. we got off the water a 2pm Thanks for all your advise.

@rpsWith this flow how far down would you expect to stop fishing for trout?

Nice fish Kevin. That a great way to start. Good luck the rest of trip!!

Heading out in the morning and launching at Holiday island. Thank you all for the navigation advise.

Good advise RPS. Thanks for the information this is all very helpful and consistent of what others say. Wish me luck!! I will be throwing Jigs. My electronics are so far out of date. all i need is depth and water temp maybe a blip or 2 on the old Garmin 90

Nice to know on the scattered trout. I was looking at Google maps last night i thought 62 was the limit.

That sounds great. i was also thinking last night that i wanted to put in at Holiday Island to avoid that long run from eagle rock. Thank you.

I will Pete. Thinking i am going to have Saturday off from family off stuff and fish with my son Ian.

I see that they are running water today and looks like it may hold for a little while. Can i get some recommendations on how far i can run to dam with a prop? I have never been past town of Beaver.I have heard that Houseman is probably as far as i can go. i am looking for trout. Any help would be great. Gates are open and releasing 7950cfs plus 3800cfs out of turbines. Thank you Michael

Phil i am not going to make it. My mother is coming in from Virginia.

I am checking with family now. They may be in Tow to shop but fishing is my objective!

N9BOW and i started at wildcat on thursday morning and headed up to jenkings creek. First cast Eric and i hooked up. We both said this is great. Well those where the only fish we caught out of there alot of short strikes. We fished a few other places think Eric caught 2 more. Myself was having a @JestersHK kinda messed up day breaking line ,snaggin trees above and below water, wrapping line around anything in the boat. Left and went to Rim Shoals went up and fished all over went down to Crooked Creek and ended up with 2 for me. We floated almost down to Buffalo City and Decided to call it around 4. Total 3 for me and 6 for Eric.

For some reason the changed the amount of cfs it was @ 10,150 with the same amount you listed 16 gates are open 2 feet each and it equals 4,000 cfs on Friday night. I thought that was weird also

@gotmuddy Man the cheese is not gonna happen. The days i was able to smoke the temps got to warm.

That would be me Jeff

Its name after my daughter Victoria and my son Ian. I call it the VICTORIAN...
