Randy,
You ever think about wearing a glove before sliding your hand up there?
Well done!

I've thought about it. Usually the only reason for that hold is if I'm either having to go digging for the fly or if I want a hero shot. I had to dig on this one. Last week I did scrape my knuckles on some of the little teeth...added to the mess. Besides, sometimes you have to pay homage to the musky gods. Especially when they are looking favorably at you.Randy,

Not sure I’d give them suckers a taste of human blood…
You’ll be on the menu next.

Tastes like chicken…who's hunting who?
Love the reel.
Thx. New to me, maiden outing. It fits the ring well, a little light but close to balanced, and is super smooth.Love the reel.
Looks like an old reel my uncle had on his old yellow eagle claw fly rod.Thx. New to me, maiden outing. It fits the ring well, a little light but close to balanced, and is super smooth.
When tying, if you can keep your overhand knot as close to the hook eye as possible your loop will be smaller.My loops are getting too big and it eventually wrapped around the doc spratley. Been a good fly still.

Thx. The ultragreen behaves just a bit different than the tippet I had been using, a hair stiffer, so a bit of adjustment is needed, and I just don't pay attention to the details sometimes. I did cut the added loop off my type 6 too, and nail knotted on a 20# chameleon butt section. Really enjoying the stillwater fishing so playing with some system refinements while I can make some catch comparisons. I think I like 2 flies with loop knots better than 3 or 1 most of the time as well.When tying, if you can keep your overhand knot as close to the hook eye as possible your loop will be smaller.

Well done.
I like the dark coloring of the bulls down there.
