old f--ts with flyrods

[rgfixit]

It's an easy addition Trap. Seems the best thread is the Orange. For some reason the Uni in hot pink and Chartreuse tends to fray. As far as lasting... the first one I made is still on one of my 5 wts. 3 full years now. I've been gradually increasing the thread counts and testing them on different rods. I twisted one up for the "Boo" and a 7wt Cortland Sylk line that was like magic.

I'd enjoy showing you how to make them. They're really easy and for a fly tier, it's a natural.

Hey Trapper just had to let you know that i caught my my first fish on a clouser , it was a small lmbass . I have to say i thought i was casting well untill i tied that clouser on. Man those flys are tough to cast ! Hate to ask , but how do you fish clousers?

got  some fish time  in before  the  rain ,the  cold front  pushed  the  fish  deep  so i was  letting the  nymph  drop  to  just about the  bottom most  takes were on the  drop about  18 inches  from  bottom ...  ended  up with a  good  dinners  worth  and i see  rain is here  now
