it’s deck tying season! It doesn’t hurt to have a blooming lilac right behind me.

Clouse minnow.
Post photo I trimmed those stragglers hairs. Overall, pretty happy with it.

Pretty happy with this one, which means I’ll lose it like 3rd cast. 4x 10mm shanks with a Kona BGH 2/0 up front (which is a pretty sweet hook!)

Just filler flash and white and cream hen

I caught my first trout on a dry fly with a black gnat…

It’s a little small for what I usually throw for bullies (it’s ~3” vs the usually 6-7”). But I don’t see why it won’t work when they’re looking for a light snack

These seem best at drawing all species this spring (except bass, still have not touched one) and it works exceptionally well as a lead fly in the cast. Sz. 10 3xl, peacock bronze simiseal tail, 2 pieces flash each side, same dubbing for rear of body, peacock simiseal behind 6/0 joann's red Czech bead, red thread.

Putting these to use next week, size 14 might be a little on big side but can run a lite dropper under as an option

Any color, so long as it's pink.

I don’t have a drying wheel so I’m using 5 minute epoxy and having the 5 year old slowly spin them

 

[clarkman]
