    Fly with sliding weight for erratic action

    Had anyone tied flies with sliding weights in them for an erratic action? I’m thinking I’d use a tube in the tail of the fly with a weight in it that will slide back and forth as I strip and give a crazy action. It’ll have to be a large enough weight to give the fly action but not so heavy I...

    Fly Storage (Larger Flies)

    I've been at this since my entire life but have not figured out a good way to store larger flies (3+ inches with tails). I do a lot of largemouth, pike, and musky fishing and regularly use baitfish and fish imitations that are 4 or 5 inches, all the way up to 18 inch musky flies. I store my...

    Lake Fishing Etiquette or Lack Thereof

    I’d rather have a lake to myself but I don’t mind a few other people fishing. It just sucks when they think it’s kosher to anchor 40 or 50 feet from me Ain’t fucking kosher man

    Lake Fishing Etiquette or Lack Thereof

    It has nothing to do with property rights, as it's a public lake. It's a common courtesy and decency issue, not one of ownership.

    Lake Fishing Etiquette or Lack Thereof

    What do you all do when your fishing a lake and someone pulls up 50 feet from you and starts fishing the same water you are? This happened twice on a lake with plenty of room on it. I was in a good spot both times, but that doesn't make it alright. I'll usually stare em down a bit or think to...

    Favorite bass rod weight, what you got?

    On a windy day, there’s some pucker factor man. I’ve hooked myself in the back of the head twice with clousers; one of those 5/0 hooks sticking me isn’t something I want to experience. Even with the size 2 Gami SC 15 hooks that the closers were tied on, they had to be cut out. They were...

    Favorite bass rod weight, what you got?

    Some of the biggest bass I’ve caught is while musky fishing with 14-20 inch flies There’s nothing like a big bucket mouth attacking a popper

    Favorite bass rod weight, what you got?

    Do you really use a 10 or an 11 for bass? So you can throw huge flies? For a lot of fish the old “big fly = big fish ain’t necessarily true”. When it comes to bass, there’s something to it in my experience

    Favorite bass rod weight, what you got?

    I voted 8 weight. Gives me the ability to throw big flies and keep them fuckers out of the weeds. They’re masters at opening their big ole bucket mouths and dragging it through the lily pads and getting off

    Puget Sound

    Growing up I distinctly remember fishing lakes with chironomids and even with my float tube tied to this individuals, using his fly's (I was like 8), down the same depth, I didn't catch as many fish. Even when I used his rod and he used mine, he'd start out-fishing me with my own rod.
