That is by far the funniest thing I have heard In a LONG time... thanks for sharing your horrible experience with us... Only a couple dozen years till you can actually laugh about that... again thanks for sharing... Deepest sympathies, Bill

There ya go I see it now... WTG

WTG either way... 1/2 in 20 mins is alright... waiting for you to get a pic though

I am gonna wear a belt either way... dont want my waders to fill with water and get carried down the river... thats not my idea of fun... I like catching fish, not swimming with em

Chicken livers work good... besides this the most gross and old thing you have in your house [molded cheeses, anything] left outside in the warm for a few days with a lid should work, just add a little blood to make it paste like... Had some luck with that sort of thing before...

That really blows... betcha he scared all the fishes away... when they smack their tail on the water if you are oblivious to his being it will scare the $hi++ out of you... almost gave me a heart attack last time it happened cause he was all of 10 yards from the boat

Link doesn't work for me ...

Nice report and glad to see you didn't wake up for nothing...Good luck out there next time too, which I am confident wont be in too long

That is a great report... I love this time of year when the reports start to flow right in...

I have done mine at about 100 cause thats the lowest setting... and yup, the door MUST be open so it actually dehydrates the meat...

Thats one good joke... from the title I actually thought that it was news, fortunately not cause this is funny

Awesome report... Looks like you fellas had a great time and I am thankful you shared your experience with us on the board...

good luck Xrap

I will be in there if someone wants to come in and speak of some as of now unknown topic...

Welcome to the board GlennK... Dont forget to post some reports with pictures...

lineweir, you are really missing out by not using streamers as that is what catches the big fish... Ask anyone who fishes browns on the grand and they will tell you big streamers and leech patterns are what you will wnat to use... For those of you who are interested in buying flies, I am more than willing to co-operate as I have sold many of my flies in the past... Shoot me a pm with some info about what and where you are going to fish or which flies you want and i will reply ASAP... also note that the flies in the pictures are the first or second attempt at tying them and I am confident that they will look better as I progress through each pattern... I have pics of all the flies anyone may be interested in... Thanks for the kind words Bill

BTW... I have a new one which is quite different as I used Ice dub for the collar and body... I will post a pic ASAP as my camera's batteries died as I was taking the picture...

I have a couple oif questions for you... first of all, what are the rivers you would be targetting? as well what time of year... the chromie's tend to be good when all else is slow because they tend to be in the water more often but take alot of energy for so little food for trout... A trout would much rather eat the hendrickson than 10 chironomids which could be equal in energy value because it takes much less energy... Chronies are one of the main things out west as you have mentioned for many reasons, which I am not fully familiar with... Best thing to do though here is to Match the hatch and give the trout what they are used to eating and what is hatching... Feel free to PM me any other questions as I am more than happy to help if I can... Either way I hope that helps some, maybe we can hook up sometime. Bill

LOL... thanks Fisherman... I thought I did ask that here before too and then I figured it was just me going nuts... TY though and I will keep those mentioned places in mind...

Yup... I have tied a number of chronie paterns... heres one example that I have caught browns and bows on... I have a bunch more but thats the one I used the most... Last year I was very conservative with fly offerings, keeping them small and very subtle...

I will for a little while... hoping there are some people there...

Does anyone know anywhere good to fish (preferably for trout but any species) around this area... I will be on BFC/CFB Bagotville and will have somewhat limited transportation...

Thanks Guys

Hey baldy... actually they all have body material... some have olive others black... as well I used rabbit as the collar for black and white... The others have maribou... The last one I am going to try to use for pikers and bass but maybe an early trout will eat him... Thanks for the compliments guys...

Awesome laugh TJQ thanks a load
