Yeah, at age 58 with a bad back a rig with ease of entry/exit is paramount. I did some tent camping on BigD this summer and swear that now I am done with sleeping on the ground like a filthy animal….while others seemingly enjoying the comfort of a crank up slide in camper (ATC, Fleet).
..I...
Thinking a Tacoma with a light weight slide in retractable camper and my DB might be “the rig for me” for my sojourns to MT/ID.
What are you guys using for this sort of thing?
Oohh yes the JJ Special - a proven pig puller. Ive never fished it much but this definitely seems to be a WB that simulates a juvenile Brown trout. I may need to get on the vise and pump some out, though I would make some minor changes to allow for them to be fished on swing with a Scandi...
These are all good suggestions. Thank you.
I never fish lakes and am usually swinging the lowly WB through a juicy meat bucket in a river somewhere on western tail waters. I WANT to believe that at some point giant Brown pigs become cannibalistic and eat their own. Does anyone here have...
Often I wonder if color matters. Seems like some days they chase…and other days they do not. I’d LIKE to believe that, like with the dry fly, color matters if even for the lowly WB. Son!
The hook has to hold a true pig. My hooks are good and meaty- but not too meaty as to prevent easy penetration. I wish the selection was better for straight eye hooks as they fish better on swing.
Curious what the MT and ID guys like for a favorite Wooly Bugger. I like swinging flies and find that WB’s are among my favorite. And, I wonder if a you guys have a favorite Baby Brown WB pattern.
