What's In Your Trout Box

[brownieman]

Dang it bm, I was hoping for a little more out of ya. I had a whole bit about how tasty McCloud trout from Crane are. Not to mention the health benefits.

They can't be no better than those big bo's outta the C & R areas at most the of the parks...we'll catch us a mess and compare em sometime, lol

It's taking a lot of strength to fight the urge to list some of those facts. I guess if it's not taken down in a few days I'll know it's okay to make politically charged comments, and we can let the debate begin.

Doesn't bother me in the least what anyone says... just please don't hijack a light hearted thread.

Start a political thread we all can trash on, lol.

Sorry bm, didn't mean to derail your thread. I said my piece, now carry on with your light-hearted banter.

[brownieman]

No problem eric...I said please

I just want a chance to banter as you put it on the politics too, lol

You got me Gavin...I'd say some guy/guys between 1950 and 2005 on some river...water looks kinda familiar, keep in mind I got that CRS crap bad right, I may have been there, can't remember.

Careful though...some viewers might have weak stomachs, lol

It's tough spending time in Montana...you just gotta go into the fly shops once in a while, and while in there you just gotta look a the fly bins, and while looking you're just bound to find some interesting looking flies that just might be exactly what the fish are looking for. I finally got over the habit of asking the guy running the shop what the fish had been taking, because it was funny how many times that just happened to be the flies in the bins that were the fullest...I wonder why they weren't ever taking the flies that should have been in the bins that were empty.

And then a guy I got to know out there told me he never fishes anything in the summer but Joe's Hoppers. I looked in all the fly shops. No Joe's Hoppers. So I asked him where he got his Joe's Hoppers. He told me the Emigrant store, which is a tiny grocery store convenience shop a few miles from the cabin. I went in there and sure enough, there were a bunch of Joe's Hoppers in a fly bin that was also full of lots of dusty flies I'd never seen before...and the best thing was that all those flies were 95 cents apiece!

So now I have a supply of Joe's Hoppers. And a whole bunch of other flies that I just couldn't turn down because they were so cheap. Heck, I don't even know the names of most of the flies I have now. Not to mention the streamers I tie myself. All I do when I get to the river is go into this zen trance, open the box, and let the right fly speak to me. Funny how often that actually works.

Seriously though, I think I could get by with a bunch of Hare's Ears, some Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns, a few scud patterns, woolys, my own streamers, some Adams, Stimulators, hopper imitations, and Elk Hair Caddis.

Yeah, those are some that I forgot. Also ,I have Bunny leeches and Mohair Leeches, which produced some nice fish last year at R.R C&R. Anyone else have the same flies that I throw.

Where's that dadgummed Ginko.?
