OK, I'm wanting to try pouring and I guess this would be the mold for me. If anyone has a used one for sale please let me know.

Got on the lake yesterday a little after 1:00 pm. I have been fishing the river channel in 16 to 20 deeps with 1/16 and 1/8 marabou jigs. All the fish are feeding on shad so if you find the shad the fish are near. Caught white perch, striper, white bass and some good size crappie. The cat liked...

Got the first rod finished!! Lot of time put in but I like the looks of it and the blue/brown trim stands out nicely. A before and after pic. Now it's time to go try it...:) Before After

How does the balance look on this fly. Put six turns before and after the wing. Used Ozark cinnamon turkey hackle on the tail and Partridge for the wing. I thought they worked good together.

Got to mixing a little powder paint today and hit a color I liked. Pulled out my box of odd feathers that I had bought in a lot off of ebay and found a black with gold outline around the feather with a gold line down the middle. I liked the looks of it so I tied one of those (one of a kind jig)...

Been playing around with a cheap video camera I got at Wal-Mart and yesterday I had a hard hit while longlining jigs for crappie. I thought it would be a very short fight and break off but it turned into a longer fight. The first 1/2 of the video is shaking because I was holding the camera with...

The water is dropping on our lakes and cooling down. We still have some people skiing in 64 degree water and I had ice on my window this morning... Anyway, the fish are biting. Longlined from daylight until 3 pm. Caught 34 crappie, 20 or more bass and a few striper. Great day to be on the lake...

I'm no rod builder and don't plan to become one but I have been buying some old rods and a few bamboo rods. I plan to clean them, refinish if needed and replace the thread wrapping on all of them. I have six grand kids so I plan to fix all of them a fly rod with a sock and tube. So, I decided to...

Been wanting to try some jigs like Pup ties with the yard on crappie. Tied a few 1/32 jigs using- orange craft fur for the tail and yellow/gold yarn with yellow thread for the body on a 1/32 orange head sickle hook and tied a few using marabou in place of the craft fur. These jigs takes some...

I'm still hitting the vice with these small hooks every chance I get. This is the latest fly tied. Damsel Nymph tied on a 2X long #12 hook. Got 12 of them ready for the box.

I am having problems going past 10 pages. I know it has got to be a setting but not sure what or were. On Jig Swaps--Swap 7, I could only see 10 pages until I posted then page 11 came up. Now I see that the last post was made by JungleJim1 but I can not see his post so I know there is another...

Been working with tying some scuds this last week. It seems with each fly I'm trying different materials and each scud it looking better than the last. On the last one I used all materials I got from a craft store, all but the hook and thread. Used a #12 hook, olive thread. I mixed colors of...

I had some time to kill today while waiting on some jigheads to bake so I pulled out some wool I found at Michaels. I had six different colors of wool I was mixing and thoughts I would end up with a red color but it came out to a nice brownest color. Tied this one while I had a little time. LOL...

I had a friend save me the feathers off a turkey this year and I received them last week. I didn't know a small bag would hold so many feathers!! Anyway, I got looking at the different feathers. I have worked with tail feather but not the wing feathers. I like the flies that I came up with and...

Had a great time this week fly fishing the Chattooga River here in South Carlina. The caddis flies were what the trout wanted all three days that I fished. The river has a way of taking your flies away from you so each night I would tie enough for the next day. Not sure how many fish was caught...
