OO-Tay! I devirginized tiny today with 30 little stockers using a Cortland Sylk line and micro leeches! The n first fish was on my BTD nymph, around 12”+ and sure put a bend in tiny! I can hardly wait for some bigger fish to really put it through the test. First trip of the year in the...

It would be cool to meet up at some lake to witness Bill’s first fish on his flybill Hotrod!! Let’s plan something…..

Here’s a for sure trout getter! B (bath) T (tub) D (drain) nymph…..lots of grey hair. Crazy background is my electric stove element.

Hmmmm…wish there was a dislike option!

On a funnier note, one time I was checked by a gorgeous young rookie warden gal. I was going to say you better check inside my waders….I might be hiding over limit trout….but the male warden she was with probably wouldn’t think that was funny….or worse yet he might’ve checked me?

Most wardens know that we flyfishers comply to rules and regulations. I’ve been at lakes when they’re checking others and just wave at me. But the most drilling encounter I had was on a west side lake, this one checked everything from barbless flies, PFD, license and if I had a whistle. It was...

Cool…way to go Mike! And on top water already!? Most of my popper fishing for spiny rays happen in late summer when the trout sink down into the mud to stay cool….and kudos for catching them on your Hotrod!!

Looks more like a tasty crappie to me……I guess I’m hungry for a crappie fish dinner!!

The wrap at the stripper is reinforcing the scarf joint. I used clear Gorilla glue on the scarf, we’ll see how it holds up.

Tiny 2.50 can cast! 45’ easily and accurately! That’s even with some wind blowing in my face…..Tiny Hardy Flyweight with a WF4 Sylk line. Next to the lake for some mighty 2.50 stockers!

No wife, no kids and definitely no work here! To quote a classic line from Golden Girls, “I’m regular, every morning at 8:00 I have to pee….unfortunately sometimes I don’t get outta bed until 9:00!” I’ll bet this morning’s opener was frickin cold to put five tiny trout on their stringers!!

Now that’s some weird stuff!

Actually yes I do! Nobody around to tell me when to get outta bed….one good thing about my situation.

Great excuse Dennis…..

I’m sleeping in!

Wow! That’s first class for rubber lips…..

Tell me that’s not a Bougle you’re getting carp some on…..

Way to go Des! Feels pretty good fooling/catching fish on your flies! That’s a eatin size perch….

Since it rained today I baked lemon ice box cookies with walnuts and macadamia nuts….turned out great! Just like my mom made when I was a kid, but I stepped it up with macadamia nuts. After that I wrapped the 2.50 with vintage green/white variegated tiger thread and dark green trim wraps. A...

IF……mine grow like these I’ll post a picture. Fingers crossed!
