do you sell those young gun that is amazing
-
young gun any chance for a recipe for your tube prawn and the prawn pattern with the mylar backing they are money cheers

Very interesting. I hear of many gear fishers going small, single eggs, minute spin and glows etc.
Here I see fly fishers going large, even huge. Do the larger flies get fished in clear water?
Or are we talking different times of year? Late spring for the large flies?

hey vaga i was just fishing so sorry about the dellay i was using one of the large tube flies the light coloured peach purple one and hooked a huge steelhead at least 18 and a total bar but lost it because he/her wrapped itself around a snag a keith wilson :'( it was at the backing in all of one second but what excited me was it was my second steelhead hooked on the fly the first one was at the same spot but i lost it when it jumped it was also big the big ons are tied on a rope just google moal leech and you will get your answer it is a vid and yes i am a very sad fisherman
-
yes i do sell my flies, what do u want tied up? I dont usually do tutorials, very time and effort consuming, ontop of a 25-75min long fly.
-
Nice looking flies can't wait to get out.hopefully I'll get one this yr

stick to keith wilson i hooked one their and i am sure people can vouch for that it was last sunday a the bridge. but man did the adrenaline start pumping. it actualy scared the crap out of me when it struck and then ran.
-
unfortunately if the rains raise the river levels then all those fish that have been "trapped" in there will get their chance to move upriver and then the hunt is on again ;) the canal really only seems to be good fishing in low to really low water when the fish get trapped around the logjams and stuff. I avoid these fish myself unless i wanna get in there and get one really quick, bonk then go home back to bed LOL ;D

Will give it a try it tomorrow flyfisher wish me luck. ;)

good luck keep me posted incase you catch or hook one ;D
-
i just finished 2 dozen for one dude, and got an order of 10 dozen for another guy, with possibly another 5 if he likes the initial batch. Business is decent.
-
that prawn is pretty tight there youngun
-
i have 0 experience tying flies, how did u guys get into it? i am intersted in tying for myself. did someone show ya or did u just trial and error with a book.
-
I learned mostly everything on my own however i have picked up a bunch of techniques just by asking at my local shop and them showing me ;D most fly fishing books, videos online(youtube) or tying videos will show you plenty enough to get you going and producing nice flies in no time. fly tying classes are also a big asset but not entirely necessary these days with all the other resources.
dont go at it thinking you will save money on flies though like most do, fly tying only allows you to tie more flies with the materials you have but it certainly doesnt save money LOL the biggest thing i like about tying is being able to create flies that you cant buy in a store, sometimes they become flops and dotn produce, other times you find a gem and it out produces everything ;D
-
that is so true. plus it is fun to do.
-
hey thanks for the info, you have got me even more excited, perhaps ill try it after the steelhead are gone.
-
actually the time to start tying your trout flies is now while everything is frozen over in the interior. So far i have got about 300 flies done and another 200-300 yet to go for family/friends ::) good thing they buy everything for them except for my time >:(
I start tying salmon flies usually in the spring/summer while im lake fishing and any trout flies i might need of course. I tie steely flies during the fall while im salmon fishing and into the middle of steely season. I do this im always ahead of the game when it comes to flies.
When it comes to trout flies i normally have at least a dozen of each fly in each size and colour combination, if its an experiment fly then i will do up 3 so i have a couple incase it gets torn apart by fish or a snag. If its a fly pattern i use alot then i will tie enough for the season like say a few chironomids i use alot of, I normally have a couple dozen on me at all times ;D

nope skunked ,when i went out it was for a derby 24 guys from my union, 4 caught fish all float fishing.only been out twice this season will continue the hunt. :)
