Members pruett417 Posted November 4, 2012 Author Members Posted November 4, 2012 It's been a little while since I've posted an update, still at it, not as much as we would like........job and college is cramping my style. We have been fighting mother nature, every chance we get we seem to not be able to get good conditions. I've determined that weather doesn't effect the gear guys as much as us, but we are still chugging along. An expert is a person who has made every possible mistake in a small field of study.
fishinwrench Posted November 4, 2012 Posted November 4, 2012 Hang in there. How close to frostbitten fingers will Musky stay shallow ? As long as there's still food there?

Wrench, I think it depends on who you talk to. It's obvious that the BIG Fall bite is winding down, but with that being said this is when (water temp) you can sure enough catch really BIG fish. The fish aren't gonna be spending a lot of time shallow, but depending on weather trends I still think we can catch them in the act if we play our cards right. I plan on miking this thing for as long as I possibly can, and with the different opinions, that just tells me it's time to stay out there and form our own opinions.

fishinwrench Posted November 5, 2012 Posted November 5, 2012 If all else fails in the late Fall just "match the hatch".... Throw a duck!
Members pruett417 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Members Posted January 9, 2013 Hey Wrench, we changed geography and moved our adventures south for the last little while, learned some things, cussed a few things, froze a few things off (at least it felt like it), geared up, tied a bunch....this thing is ever evolving. These warm winter days are calling our names, expect some reports coming soon, we're off to rip some lips. Just a sample of some the new stuff, pm me for details if any of you might be interested in some these patterns. All quality materials, from the hooks down to the heads. Singles, doubles, and now triples using articulated shanks....dirty, dirty moves. An expert is a person who has made every possible mistake in a small field of study.
Wayne SW/MO Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Good grief! I don't know if I have the wrist to throw that bottom one on my 9wt. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
Members pruett417 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Members Posted January 9, 2013 Good grief! I don't know if I have the wrist to throw that bottom one on my 9wt. Wayne it throws itself LOL But believe it or not, these flies are extremely neutral, designed to be fished on sinking lines. Gonna be tying quite a few singles for this Spring, when the fish are looking for smaller prey. But can guarantee that the others will be on hand, because no matter what, the theory of big flies = big fish still reigns true.

Outside Bend Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Nice lookin' flies, I especially like the bottom one. Good luck! <{{{><
fishinwrench Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Lookin good, man ! I hope you get one stuck. This weekend is looking to be perfect.
exiledguide Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 That bottom one with about 4ozs of lead and and some double cowgirls on the front................would be a heck of a lure. The only thing I have been able to atract Muskie with on Fellows are big bluegill I'm tryinrg to land on ultralight and always right at the boat.....lot of fun
