I live in Minnesota and do fish lakes that have em but I almost never catch them when I'm going after musky, bass, and pike. Most of the lakes I fish aren't known as walleye lakes, they just have a few in there. Nonetheless, I've always found it weird that I don't hook into more of them by...

My first hollow tie using body tubing. I’ve been using body tubing for some jack knife style flies but first one I’ve tied like this.

Fishing for musky last night and of course no musky but did get this. Hooked a couple other big bass but no other action. Really slow

Thanks man. I see you’ve also been bitten by the bass bug. I love seeing em eat poppers, it gets my blood pumping. I’ve never fished for largies in eastern Washington. Do the lakes you fish develop a weedline?

Fished a popper for the first time of the season last night for 15 minutes and had a good eat right away but pulled it right out of it's mouth. It always takes me a few fish to get in the rhythym.

Is it ok to slap the bass or that’s just a bass player thing? We shouldn’t be doing that to fish? Some MN bass!

This fly got hammered by big pike and some largies the other day over the border in Wisconsin. Lost some material from pike teeth and pliers but it’s mostly all there Was bass fishing but the pike also liked it

Gotta have on a tweed hat and be smoking a nice cigar too.

Yeah I tied a few with split rings but found they fouled. The spinner blade would mess up the action of the flies I usually tie; I'd have to design something new. This dude uses the split rings so he can change hooks if they dull

Is a fly with a spinner blade tied in, casted on a fly rod, stripped back in, fly fishing? I think so. Why wouldn't it be? It's just a little spinner blade Billy's bass popper with added spinner blade sure looks like a fly to me. Some people tie rattles into their flies, is that cheating? I've...

I do know a musky guide that uses treble hooks on his flies but with one of the three hooks cut off. He attaches them to split rings that are on the shanks he ties his fly's on. Musky fishing ain't trout fishing. Different animal

I've got some of those propeller blades too. Do you find that beads on either side is the best way to make em spin adequately?

Anybody tie spinner blades into their flies? I'm thinking about adding spinner blades to some musky flies. Figure It'll grab their attention a bit better. The gear guys use big ass spinner blades; sometimes two of em. Thanks

I finally figured out that I should use a cardboard template to trim the fly. Was fucking em all up before

They’re not solely responsible but you don’t think indiscriminate netting of rivers is a contributing factor to the decline in salmon and steelhead populations?

Yeah I always see em deploying their handwoven nets in canoes dugout from large cedar trees. I’ve never ever ever seen em in a modern boat with 3 250’s on the back.

Whatever gets you through the day Ira. If you need to "win" to be alright, you can win man.

Ira. We can just disagree. I don't think there's any point in going back and forth with you.

So his, “uninformed statements”, in your eyes, make him a bully? Who’s he bullying? He’s a bully of “the truth” as you see it? Nobody said Washington didn’t have opportunities. All anybody’s said is they haven’t been maximized. That’s it man. That’s all that’s been said. You can disagree with...

I can share my tracking data with you I’ll trade you for tracking data on Clarkman’s tiger catching vessel
