Sending Humpies in the morning.

Got a surprise message. Heading to Great Bear Lake. Been told they have Grayling. Any chance you could tie up some last minute bead head flys ? He sent me a post from the Outfitter on what was a common tie for up there. I came up with some variant beaded Nats and Hares ears which were on the list,but he was happy with the out come and I sent them off to him this morning. Looking forward to pics when he returns. I,ll be on the local streams Friday, fishing for browns.

Had a meeting this afternoon after work with the organizer and the manager of Cabelas. I had thought this would be in the club room were there would be like, 20-30 or so people. Well to my surprise,this will be held out on the open floor in the fishing section. Ya,nothing like having every walker by watching. Best have my game face on for this now. OH ME NERVES .

And off they went this morning. These things are very cool. The tails are time consuming and yes could buy them,but why?

Deer hair and me,well,like water and oil, but I do like trying.

As a added bonus this morning, posting a top water pan fish fly,I got an order for 20 to be sent off to Ottawa.

Done a couple now and it,s getting there. This will hunt I am sure . Eyes are secured with crazy glue,then done along the outer rim to secure,then a light coat of Sally hard as nails. I Palmer the marabou instead of removing the fibers and latching them. This will stand up much better for longer periods of catching IMO.

One of the pan fish ties I,ll be doing.Just a simple #10 sedge hook. Nice and light. I,ll do the whole tie right from starting with the how to tail to finish. I have some tying videos,but they seem to large for here. 20230601_085015.mp4

Getting my ties out there to many anglers and those that help promote them, and meeting the right people, it has gotten me an invite to next months,June 17th fly tying seminar at Cabelas here. It will be a bass,panfish and pike tie combination . I have the bass and panfish baits covered and working on a pike one . A 6" dragon tail . A bit of a challenge,but I will have it down come the 17th, I hope. Now I wonder if they will allow to have a cold one,while tying at the table ?

This I could do. That is sweet bud.

Never gets old pal. Love that pup.

Can I be honest?????????? PASS. JMO

These will be fun to fish I am sure

Learn to fish,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, LMAO

This is a very sad and great lose to the Simcoe fishery. Wil did so much for it. He was the kind of guy that would talk to anyone. It was like you were long time friends ,even if you never met him before. RIP Wil

It,s a simple 2 part brown sugar,1 part sea salt dry rub,leave in fridge for a couple of days flipping each day. Pat dry,let sit in open air 12 hours and on the grill.When you start to smell the bacon,it,s ready. BTW, Great to hear from ya ole bye.

HOLLY MOTHER OF MEAT GODS.

I like that I can do a pull pork or brisket . Start in the afternoon,and by morning,it will be done. I will be trying this theory soon.

Some baby back smokey bacon ribs that fell right off the bone. Could of made pull rib meat on a bun with these. Charcoal snake ( 1st time ) with apple chunks for smoke. We had a half each tonight,and think I,ll just pull the meat off the other 2 and make sloppy pork on a bun tomorrow with some apple slaw and home fries.

Yes sir bye,s. She all be done just as the Mrs,s get home from work. That's how I roll. Happy wife,,,,,, ah never mind, I eats good. 3 big chunks of apple wood on the coals and get,er done. Still had enough hot coals to get some Italian sausage cooked up as well. Go big I say. So does the wife, but I say, ya got what ya got. Mix up a nice fresh green salad and we'll, get at it.

Whities open here next week my friend. No ice here. LOL

You did really well with that boat Rob. I will be getting the green machine prepred for next weeks opener. New 50 ah battery is already on charge,new motor just needs ft extension on the wires to reach the battery to balance out the craft. Finder chip swapped from the ice machine to the large tv screen one. Might need some new air in the tires as well. Maybe hit the car wash and give it a shine. LOL

A&W ? I,ll stick with my own mozza mushroom burger. The past year or so,I have gotten away from bread crumb and egg binder. I just go straight ,salt,pepper and some seasoning. I keep the coals in the middle and put the burgers around it. Cover 15 min with the top vent open 1/2 . Bottom pot is always open full . Flip and another 15 min. Put in the middle for 5 min to get a bit of char, flip,mushrooms, cheese and cover for another 5 min. They turn out so nice and juicy. Let the meat tell ya when it,s ready.

Thank goodness she did not use smelts. Would of been a waste of good eats.
