1. Encroaching onto private property and taking pictures of it. Check.

2. Catching less than palm-sized trout and taking pictures of them. Check.

3. Fishing beautiful water and taking pictures of it. Check.

You'll do nicely. Great pics, dude.

Techno-Savy - maybe

Skinny Jeans - F*ck No!
Jam-Grass - only if you can roll it....music choice...old school rock.
Beer snob - only cull nasty ass ipa's...

For more extra points, I'll upload some carp and musky photos.

There was nothing but a few empty IPA cans and a bunch of really old wore out fly reels in the back.  I figured no one would steal anything in there, but I was thought I'd be nice and close the door for ya!

Do you have one of those fancy little chest packs that cost half as much as my truck?

Good work. Looks like you'll fit in just fine. Keep the posts coming, just don't show us where the big fish are, those that need to know all ready do.

I'll put some on the server tonight. Nothing online at the moment.
Mostly carp. A few Musky. A few musky flies.  A lot of time killed watching them follow my flies.

Fancy pictures will only get you so far.  Musky, carp and fly ties will help.

Rvrbum is going to be jealous of those musky flies.  He can't figure out how to use fish skulls.
Title: Re: Let the bashing begin
Post by: VaTrout on March 09, 2016, 10:37:38 AM
I am wanting to learn tube flies for musky. I think the fish skulls will actually be easier to use on the tubes.
In a hook shank you have to put a lot of material there to lock it in place before you tie off the front. I think that sometimes puts too much weight in the front of the fly.

Just tie a fly on a plastic q-tip.  Voila, tube fly.

True...Think they would handle the big 80# Floro and 8/0 hooks?  I saw some big tubing somewhere.  I though it would match up better to the big rigging.

Almost forgot.  Now that I look at it...the few times I've been able to catch a musky, I've done a horrible job keeping the background out of the photos. 
Can't give up my spots!
