Phil Shuts Em Down When Conservatives Speak

[troutfiend1985]

Woolybuggers, woolybuggers and more woolybuggers.

That is about the only fly I use and it works prety darn good for me on the White and Norfork.

I must be one of the only guys who never has luck with this fly for trout. I hear about it so much, but rarely have major luck with it. Guess I should give it a few more tries, how do you fish yours?

Phil has never made his political biases clear here that I can see.

Let me clear that up for you. He is a flaming conservative republican.

So since this thread is dead, I would just like to point out that right now the Royals have a better record than the cardinals. Won't last long, but I get a chance to give redbird nation some hell right now

As long as the flaming part doesn't mean he's a "log Cabin" republican. :)

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Cast them down and across and let them swing in the current. When they get below me I'll let them hang for as long as 30 seconds and strip them in using short jerky retrieves. I only strip about 3 feet and then pick up and recast.

If the current speed is not moving fast enough, I start stripping them in immediately after letting them sink a little. If the current speed is higher, I use an upstream mend to let them sink before the current pulls them.

I also try to make a few casts in one area and take a step or two downstream trying to cover as much water as possible. This is kinda hard though when it comes to combat fishing situations where moving downstream would put me into someone elses fishing area.

That kind of humor might get you canned from the forum.

This has got to be the stupidist topic I have seen on this forum . Bottom line this is Phills football . When he gets tired of the game he will take his football and go home.

I like to fish them cross current too. Might be good to try different colors than you've tried previously. I also hear they're quite the stonefly nymph if you fish them under an indicator dead drifted. I don't fish them too much though. I usually fish a slumpbuster but buggers have done quite well in the past.
