Gar!

[FishnDave]

Rope certainly works, but some days it can be difficult to entangle them, in my experience.  I've only tried it on Shortnose Gar...I always wondered if maybe it would work better on Longnose Gar.

I had good luck this summer on flies...about a size 10 hook.  3 different flies...a woolly bugger, a mop fly, and a rubbertailed beadhead nymph thing (I don't know what its called...bought it at T. Hargrove's).

              I have caught more on buggers than the rope.

I've been looking for gar.......Arkansas Master Angler is 10lb.....I thought it would be the easiest to do as I knew a pretty good spot. Been twice and nothing. 

Seems like if your looking for em.....I cant find them.....otherwise....their there.

Just don't let them nibble on you, no matter how gentle they promise to be.

Just wish I could have weighed this dinosaur before it chomped me, biggest one I've ever seen.
