This works so well on multiple levels. It doesn’t make clear what to drink more of, could be ramen broth, or what to care less about, leaky faucet maybe? Either way, hope it is a merry year for all.

Cracked my ribs, so no fishing in December, but I did manage this in November.

Did you sing along? Make requests? Missed opportunities!

I do like the idea of inviting guys to sit in the boat with me. My sumabitch would be if they say no. Just a thought, over friendliness might work better to distance others from you than vinegar. Isn’t the saying “You catch more flies/fish with honey than vinegar”? Guys without ear plugs...

If I’m the only guy out there and I’m catching fish, I’m inviting other people over, not waiting for them to ask for help, as soon as they show up. I’ll also have 7 rods rigged, not 4, what an amateur. Because of this, I will row near people assuming that on Washington’s most popular fly...

I’ve fished mids an inch or two under an indicator in less than a foot of water. I’ve seen some situations where fish are initially spooked by the indicator landing, but within minutes, sometimes seconds they are back. In many other cases, the splash brings them over to investigate. As for...

Fixed it for ya 😂

As I said, I know it works and in some cases even better than the indicator, it is just rare that I do it with mids. Now, do I use this method with an intermediate line and leeches… maybe start trailing a mid more often…

This is why the “do nothing approach” to indicator fishing is only a small part of my game plan. I progress through a series of retrieve techniques to discover what the fish want. I rarely ever fish the naked approach, not because it doesn’t work better, but more because I want to watch the...

It is an indicator…😂

No full sleeve, but my tattoo artist would like that. It started with the indicator. The sculpin, fly and line were all together and were a plan for a long time.

Thread and the past its prime Gorilla Glue. 😁

All me Roper!

Good idea. Looking at juvenile perch and other species like fat heads, black and white seemed to match best to match the profiles out there.

I’ll let you know after January.

Sculpin under an indicator is worth 4 any other method.

Actually kind of a mix, but I believe it was a shortfin model with some stag in there.

A tier named Curtis Kauer on the Facebook group Panfish On the Fly shared a technique of using safety pins versus straight pins to create balanced minnow patterns. I played around a bit with it. The first picture shows the skeleton of the pattern and the second shows a completed pattern...

This really is a great idea by the WDFW!
