Fly Selection - Smallmouth And Bream
Jason R. replied to hoglaw's topic in General Angling Discussion
Best crawdad pattern for me is a crazydad in olive with the orange tipped olive rubber legs. I also replace the dubbing with palmered rabbit. -
I've rowed a Clacka Headhunter several times and it was really nice for the White River in Ar.

Just don't leave your rod like that for very long or it will put a kink in your fly line.

Vague/weird Question But I Thought This Place Could Help
Jason R. replied to E Green's topic in General Angling Discussion
I remember wondering the same thing myself- with a headlamp you can track their little eyes all the way to the spider- don't do it if you have arachnophobia- those suckers are pretty much all over the ground. -

Spiders- put on a headlamp and go look closely at the ground where you see the eyes- mostly wolf spiders. -
i lost a 6wt bvk with a sage 4200 a while back.
-
Only because I had just set it up. It'll look like the floor of a chicken coup within a week. Oh and- Thanks!
-
Fair enough. I did just upgrade my tying desk...
-
Dangit... I'm in.

Dang it I wish Arkansas had big musky. I guess I'll have to settle for gar.
-
I dont know if thats for pruett's fly or mine- but mine casts like a wind sock. 8wt will throw it about 30 feet.

I tried a similar idea- http://flyinthesouth.blogspot.com/2013/02/at-vise.html Tied for bass- I decided the back hooks needs to be clipped- not the front. The bass tend to hit the head and then get hooked in the gill plate or face- which is not cool. Plus you need about a 10wt to cast the thing. I'm sure pike/musky are a totally different ballgame. Yours is cooler than mine.

I don't want to start some pointless political debate... BUT- I think the people (like me) who are not fond of our current taxation are more concerned with non-infrastructure spending. You know- welfare, SSI/SSD, this new healthcare tax, government waste, excessive golfing etc. I'm fine with paying for police, fire, utilities and military. I respect the heck out of police, firemen and military.

I am wondering the same things- apparently it will be sold by Krylon and will be in the same spray paint type cans. I feel like it could be good for hiking boots, waders and maybe rain jackets as long as it lets the fabric breath. I would really like to know if you could apply it to a car or boat to keep it clean all the time- like a super wax. Seems like a dry fly treated with this stuff would float like a cork right? -Watch for it to be licensed to RIO or Orvis and sold in tiny cans for $50.
-
Doubt it. Although- no matter which way I go out of Little Rock, there is road construction. It seems like they are always working on the roads, but the roads always suck. Then again I just started paying taxes and I am probably bitter.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57590077-1/spill-a-lot-neverwets-ready-to-coat-your-gear/ Seems like this might have a ton of fly fishing applications. Fly line, dry flies, waders, rain jackets, cameras... other stuff. Apparently it is only 20 bucks.
-
Did anyone else laugh a little at the video of the guy hitting himself in the eye while practice casting? Maybe it was just me... those pictures were sick though.
-
Ya his was right on the end of his finger- which in my experience tends to be a spot that bleeds like crazy. The hook in my leg didn't bleed at all.
-
I fished the blessings all the time when I was in school up there- never had a problem. I have been kicked off of The Creeks by a guy who said he was the owner. He was not a particularly nice guy- at least not to me.
-
We have plenty down here in central AR if yall need some. I see about five every time I fish the Arkansas River. Big ones too.
-
The last time I stuck a hook in me was right by the ramp on the Gunnison in CO. I think it was a hopper- anyway I was not about to go to the emergency room and miss a sweet float- cut the fly off- fished for a while- fish were going nuts so I forgot about it until I sat down- and, because it was through my pants and then into my thigh, I remembered really quickly. Wish I'd known about this trick then- I pushed it through and it sucked. Used the rope trick on my dad's finger and it worked pretty well- he did manage to bleed all over his own boat though.

I too am a frequent visitor of golf course ponds. Black popper= all you need.

Banded Water Snake Or Something Else?
Jason R. replied to Mitch f's topic in General Angling Discussion
I concur- water snake bites hurt- but they're so fun to catch and chase cousins, sisters and other kids with. -
Couple Hours In The Evening With A Fly Rod...
Jason R. replied to Daryk Campbell Sr's topic in Ponds
Ticks in Arkansas are vicious this year. I got 3 the other day (while wearing waders no less) and my dog got at least 15. -
Got my Eagle- I learned a lot in scouts- not necessarily related to the outdoors. Mostly about how to deal with bullies at scout camp and how to eat dehydrated foods. I have a bunch of good friends that I made in scouts and, while I hated wearing that stupid uniform and wasting every Monday night, I would want to put my (hypothetical) future son in scouts if it weren't for all this PC junk they are doing right now. As for fishing- I learned that from my dad and grandpa- most of my scout leaders couldn't even steer a canoe.
