Great looking fly. Perfect for a bream imitation. I can't find any EP around here, guess I'll have to order some.

Catfish are a blast on the long rod. I caught this one the week before. It was 26"

I literally thought it was going to break my 5 wt, it was bent over in a...
After fly fishing now for about a year, one of my favorite things about it is that the fly doesn't discriminate. I love catching bass but that's not the only fish that will hit the fly.
This...
Nice, a Blanco report. It's good there's some water in there now. I know the drought really tore up that fishery down river from there.
Man, I have to applaud your sense of adventure. A week on the water and 60-70 miles of beautiful scenery. Seems you had all the right equipment. Congratulations on what you did accomplish.
Sounds like a nice setup. I'm a TFO fan myself, I have the Professional II 5 wt.
The warranty was the main reason I bought one. Face it, fly fishing out of a kayak - things happen and rods are going...
Good looking fly.
I have a question, on these shad type patterns do you add any weight - lead wire or something?
Thanks Deepstep.
I was watching some You Tube tying videos and came across somes vids that show how to tie them and thought that doesn't look too hard.
Just hope they hold on a good fish. Wasn't...
Since the rain has screwed up my fishing the last few weekends, I've been busy at the vise. Looking for something for the big Spring bass.
These are first attempts so they are not perfect at all....
That Brazos does have some nice fish in it.
That's a good one Siler.
Good looking flies.
I bought some EP fibers over the weekend to try out. I was mainly interested in how they would work tying Clousers, but I remembered seeing a You Tube video on the Puglisi...
We had a Coosa on the trip and I've camped with others that have, seems to be a great boat for that. Just watch out that you don't over pack, you've got a lot of room.
crowetex - Most of the...
A great trip it was.
Here's my report from TKF.
Luckly (or unluckly, depending how you look at it) the Freeze Out Trip lived up to it's name. It was dang cold early Sat. morning and around 28...
After fly fishing for about 10 months now I figured it was time to learn to tie. I mainly use Clouser minnows so I started with those and wooly buggers.

It did put up a fight. Pulled drag on my big catfish rod that doesn't get pulled easily or often.
What works best here for the cats/buffalo/drum/carp is night crawlers. I've used dough baits and...
BUFFALOOOOOOO

Thanks all.
You could be right. Everybody here calls them Killdeer. Of course alot people around here, an most of the older folks, call bream "perch". I need to do more bird research, so...
I had a chance to get out on the river the Friday after Thanksgiving. This ended up being a solo trip and I only took the fly rods. It really wasn’t going to be as much a fishing trip as a chance to...
I can see this turning into a Bar-B-Que thread real quick.
So don't forget Lockhart and Luling and ....
noumenon - welcome to the site, hit me up sometime for a run down the river. Or a run down...

About an hour into my fly fishing career I caught this one on a popper.
A nice little Guadalupe hybrid.
I've been wanting to get into it for a while now and...
That is a nice bass for Barton Creek. Must be up creek from the pool quite a bit.
That fish looks from the size of it to be 3-5 years old (16" is about 3 yo), with the multi-years of drought we've...
That is a fat green bass.
Derik definitely out fished me last weekend.
Lets do a fly float soon.
Wow.
I wouldn't even need to bring a pole on that trip (and thats saying alot).
Beautiful photography.
What was that footprint?
I've been watching the radar up there for the last week. Ya'll have been getting it bad.
On the flip side, around here it's extreme drought and wild fires.
To bad we can't trade out rain for dry.
Thanks all.
That's an "official" ruler basket from a few years back for our local tournaments.
If you look in my boat photo you can almost see it on top of my cooler upside down. It'll stay on...
