Hello, I've been reading the post for over a year now and finally decided to sign-up. Just curious to know if anyone has any experience with the Nor-Vise rotary system and their retractable bobbins. I have a DynaKing Kingfisher, which works just fine, but have been interested in the Nor-Vise and its q...
Here are a few patterns I tied up over the weekend to use on the American next Tuesday. I should have used a bigger size of chennile on the poopah but didn't have any more, should still work though.
Back in high school I started to tie flies, mostly dries, and I even caught trout on them, but stopped soon after when life got busy and I just didn't get out fishing much.? Now I can burn through nymphs like beer-nuts on a Super Bowl Sunday so?I'm curious about how many of you tie your own flies, a...
Fished 4 hours midday starting at the usual area. Used my new flies, a copper brassie and then a RS2. At the end of a long drift downstream, the RS2 got slammed and the fish made quite a few knuckle busting runs as I adjusted the drag slightly. The fish was unusually strong but there were no obstacles to bre...

I was the only one out there 1130-230. Sunny, getting warm, water clear, slow, and low. Skunk at the easy spots so I went exploring and found some holes. But again, I didn't see any fish. I threw a little anyways. A lot of o the shoreline is moist, muddy and slippery. Be careful. -- Edited by throwinmetal a...

Here are some flies I've been working on for the AR.? The first is actually Brian's first poopah and the same one that won him his new year's resolution to catch a fish on a fly he tied, congrats bro!? We used some EP fiber to create a shimmering veil around the body and some olive krystal flash for the anten...

I floated it last weekend, it was not as bad as the reports have indicated. The signs are big, the flow looks like it wants to take you to the right but don't over row like I did or the pulled-in oar will still catch on the back pier and make you knuckleslap the front person in the back of the head. Good thing he...
I was fishing the creek a few weeks ago and I think I saw a large cat between the road and the creek around mile marker 1.8.? Has anyone ever seen a mountain lion in the area?? I attempted to scoot after it but then my senses took hold and I made a beeline to another area.? Granted my view was obscured by brush b...

I went out yesterday with two buddies. We fished from 9 am to dark. Between the 3 of us there were 5 hook ups and only 1 to hand. We didn't get any action at all until 5 pm. We parked at the hatchery and walked down to the island. There were already 7 guys at the top of the chute next to the island so we went back ups...
Well....?? I took a lot of pictures...?? ate my roastbeef sandwich...? and thats just about it!!! Water still looked like yoohoo at the island.? Didnt wanna move upstream, but just sitting and listening to the creek relaxed me a bit.
