What a great way to get my work day going. I gotta start tying fly's now, so I can come up with some valid arguments.

Nevermind....I'd never win one against you old coots. I'll continue reading and laughing my behind off

Thats right Trapper would not lie about something like that buddy. there is only a small hand full of people in the world that could land fish of that caliper on that light tackle. and NO NET either! its your turn next year buddy - i will run the camera. we can make a video 

[Gamma Fish]

What fly rod blanks did you order Trap?

Fly wars....I love it!

"Fly fishing is for sissys..."  Say what you like about fly fishing...but leave my Heineken alone

RG

Must be you didn't get that quote but I meant it to be a compliment       If you're gonna fly fish, you'd better drink Hieneken and not that sissy beer

Prove it Pop's !      Janns didn't buy Netcraft until the mid 90's and it was only shortly before that when Netcraft offered that style lead bodied ant..  Matter of fact, it was a company called Sporting Displays out of S.Dakota who Netcraft and then Janns/Netcraft bought their lead bodied ice jigs from.  Same place where major tackle manufacturer buy from.
   Show me an old Netcraft (pre Janns / pre 1994) with those bodies in it and I'll buy your coffee for a week !     

Oh yeah................after you're done catching those gills, stop at the dollar store and buy a bigger hat

Hey Trapper....been working on some sculpin patterns....whatcha think? Any suggestions?



Boy...I didn't know I was so defensive about my beverage choice. Really I prefer Anchor Porter or Guinness drafts.

rg  i  ordered  two  5  wt   8'6''  netcraft   im6  blanks  45  bucks  each ,i  don't  know  why  just seems  like  the  thing to  do  

[trapper2000]

i  like  them  rg !!!  weighted?  make  a  nice  gobie  pattern too  ....impressive

[rgfixit]

IM6 is nice..a bit stiffer than some blanks. makes for some effortless casting.

The stream is way up and muddy so I have some bench time before golf. I'm gonna play with a couple of variations on the sculpin.
