NoLuck Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 Ok let me get a list together of things that won't work and I'll post it up. Then you can tie them up Jerry and when they don't work you can just give them to me so they won't take up room in your fly box.

rcguy Posted July 14, 2010 Author Posted July 14, 2010 Actually guys, I was thinking about some midges with a little flash tail and little flash behind the head...in several colors. I actually caught a couple last time on my olive midge with olive sparkle tail. Rich gave me one of his secret killer olive midges so I try to tie some like that. BTW Rich, I had a nice Brown on in the fast water. I could see the gold color flashing. He hit a size 18 red brassie with peacock thorax and black bead. He made a run upstream an then back down stream right towards JJTroutbum that was fishing on the other side. One look at Jon and he bolted and broke off. That's my excuse.
NoLuck Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Jerry, That wasn't a brown that was one of those suckers. LOL. Really though if you do hook into a good fish in that fast water you gotta make sure that you are ready for a good fish to make a run on you. I have caught a few fish in there and you gotta be ready for that bonsai run. Them bigger fish always seem to know how to get unhooked.
rcguy Posted July 22, 2010 Author Posted July 22, 2010 You know a good taxidermist can make a big sucker look just like a brown.
NoLuck Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 You know it's kinda funny that I have never caught one of those things. I have been fishing Bennett and Montauk for close to 39 years and have never even hooked one.

NoLuck Posted July 23, 2010 Posted July 23, 2010 Dennis, Apparently you have not seen my screen name. It is NO Luck. I just have a good streak every now and then. I haven't been much this year because of a busy work schedule so I'm kinda behind a little. Maybe Pat and Jerry can fill me in on how to catch fish this time around. I'll be down tomorrow and maybe sunday to give it a whirl. Cya
rcguy Posted August 4, 2010 Author Posted August 4, 2010 It won't be long now but I am hoping the weather cools down a little. I suggest we all meet for lunch at 12:00 at the Bennett Dining Lodge on Sunday, Aug 22nd. Any other suggestions accepted. I am hoping to see a pic of NoLuck's 4 pounder. Anyway, I'll be ready. Luckily once you get in the stream up to your chest it cools off rather nicely.
