Added colored tails as hot spots. Will find out in the spring,if I can tie them to my line .LOL On to smaller #,s once I get uncrossed. LOL The last couple of days creations,,,,,,,,,,,, Working on the deer/elk hair fly's and submerges .Need to get the proportion parts down on the hair. I think a big hungry brown will hit them still .

O.K. we still can't seem to talk politly on the Covid so all of the threads will be locked. If you three want to discuss this use P.M. or you will be ModQed. Last chance Art

Lots of whitefish up here. Not the size of simcoe but there are so many, they are pretty much coarse fish. Think the limit is twelve.

Round Lake---minutes from Barry's Bay

Try standing a few feet from that slag pit "eruption." I once blew the slag pit up that they filmed it in Toronto.

Cisco, you potentiall make some interesting points for discussion about this drug...Sure it should be studied and it sounds like it is in Columbia. but your logic for it not being used due to a “hidden agenda” is where the reasonability ends and makes absolutely 0 sense. I’m sorry but if you look at the impact that this pandemic has had on the economy in Canada in comparison to the number of dollars being saved by killing off old people the math with plainly show that this is so far from reality that it’s not even worth discussing. 14,964 people have died from covid in canada...you can quite literally do the math and yourself and quickly realize that killing off that many people on social security...maybe some of our boys on Cpp can tell you how much per month they are getting from the government lol. I sure bet they wish they were getting anywhere near the $74,000 per person per year that you are claiming the government is saving by having these people die in order to save 1 billion dollars. the lockdown, shutdown and straight impact that this pandemic has had on the stock market and the economy alone so far exceeds 1 billion dollars, your math is off by a factor of probably close to a million lol. air canada (one single company) alone posted a $685,000,000 loss in the third quarter of 2020.

Nice work Brian,.you mentioned proportions. That was a learning curve for me for sure. Especially hackles! Too litlle......wont float! Too big......fly wont sit right on the surface! Check out Reelflies.ca. an ontario fly company ! Thier catalog,has excelent pictures of 2500 their flies! This sure helped me a lot with how they should look! Check it out ! Cheers!

Tying dries is better than nymphs, hairwings, streamers, poppers and salmon flies... well, maybe not those most elaborate and artsy salmon flies but a close second. Nicely done Brian.

Geeze Bye...I thought maybe you were having the DTs when I saw the subject... Nice job on the flies...

Pre-tie them at home under the magnifying glass I need a few of these for fall whitefish on Gbay.

Veery nice job, I don't have the patients to tye one fly much less a batch of them. Art

RAAAID!!!! 😁 Geez you're tying some beautiful bugs Brian. Nice work!

If you also noted the location? Columbia. We aren't the only ones searching for answers?

Muskrat lake is a different animal---it's Cobden Busy lake---lots of bass tourneys---suffers every year from a heavy blue green algae good fishing---just busy---lots of Ottawa traffic Guess this is where the interweb is a good thing for info 😏

I've never been afraid of heights but that's a whole nuther ball game right there LOL Good on you guys for having the guts to pull that off.

Hey AK, I know all those guys! Above ^^ you know Alex Honold from the movie Free Solo. This was a year ago in the fall of 2019, I took this pic of him working their new free climb. Me: "Hey Alex, how many seasons will it take you to free climb your new route?" Alex: "Oh, we'll get it this season." Me: "But it took Kevin and Tommy ten years to free climb Dawn Wall! How can you climb it so fast?!" Alex: "This route is easy. it's only 5.13d. Dawn Wall is 5.14d..." Sheesh. With Alex on the wall, and Kevin Jorgeson. Crap, I can't see what's uploading here. Geez, why is the photo upside-down? Anyway, that's us. OK, third photo looks right. That's, like, me and Tommy Caldwell, showing his "good" hand with all five fingers. The other hand, well, you know...

In this in between time (boats are away but so is ice and snow near the cottage) I found myself thinking about my first fishing trip to a lodge. Newest post is up https://www.northernjacks.com/post/trip-beginnings Thanks for reading Andrew

I took all of the carpet out of my old ranger and replaced it with vinyl. It didn’t take that long and only cost me a few hundred bucks. I used the vinyl thinking it would be easier to work with than carpet and it turned out pretty good. Save yourself a bunch of dough.
