Hey Fly Tiers...What's In The Vise?

[trapper2000]

You need to explain " Short line nymphing" to me.

short  line  nymphing ?  a  whole  new  world  is  about  to open  up  to  you 

[Mac Attack]

Well Mac, just take out a loan and tell your Bride  that I apologize in advance

Donna gave up a long time ago on my spending for fishing and boating equipment.
When I bought the new Lund 2 years back she talked me into the Rebel XL instead of the Fury.
About a $10K increase in cost.

You can't take it with you Bob.
And I ain't leaving crap for my kids.
Just used up fishing gear.

Sounds like a keeper Mac!

Still playing with carp flies. These are stand up flies





Just some freestyle tying....my favorite

I looked into it Trapper.,been doing it for years. Didn't know it had a name. Kinda like "dropshotting" ..........somebody gave it a name and all of a sudden it's the sound bite of fishing.

[KingPerch]

As usual Bob, great flies bud!

[big_guy_13021]

Nice flys and micro jigs..are those 1/80oz jigs..

[rgfixit]

They're  1/80 or 1/64, I don't really remember what I bought.

Here's another carp pattern I'm working on. A swimming nymph.
I have a pic tutorial, I'll skip the explanations.if you want any directions , I'll be happy.

Very nice flys..i use 1/64th ..very good luck with them for all types of fish thanks for sharing some fly pics

[rgfixit]

I fish those jigs with the fly rod and an indicator.

[trapper2000]

been  short line  nymphing  all  my  life   easy way  and  affective  way to  fish  pocket  water ,I  think  this  is  why i'm addicted  to a  indicator  .....it's  accounted  for  a  whole  lot  of  trout   but a  amazing  amount of  early season smallies  as well

[rgfixit]

What about a Tenkara setup Trap? Sure seems simple enough to me. Same principal, longer Rod, more line control. Not sure what you do with a real runner, but, could be fun

[trapper2000]

RG  when  you  ty  your  coachmans  and  wulffs   do you have a  hard  time  seeing Chartreuse?  I  have  to use  orange  strike indicators too I  can't  see it

[rgfixit]

Nah, I see the chartreuse pretty well in the morning and afternoon light. I like orange or pink during the day though. I pretty much use pink on hoppers and the like.

Time for new lenses Trap

Rg

[trapper2000]

just  got  new  ones  lol ,  don't  know what it is  but I  have  never been  good at seeing it  , even casting boobers I never been able to see the  chartreuse ones
