BillM Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Dave, I'll leave you a few mid 40's to catch, but I'm putting a 50incher or bigger under my belt this year

solopaddler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 They look great buddy, how long are they?
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Posted January 24, 2011 They look great buddy, how long are they? They're about 5 or 6 inches, not giants but I have a couple of big boys hidden away.
solopaddler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 They're about 5 or 6 inches, not giants but I have a couple of big boys hidden away. That's what I thought. Not big enough! At least 8", and mostly black with a bit of red mixed in would be good.
Moosebunk Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Those will be great Dave. If the Skat fish hit'em like they will on the Moose, my bet is the white & red and the yellow & red. You got soooooo much more winter time to tie some more up. Hehe!
solopaddler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Forgot to mention the ones you tied with the different coloured heads...that's pretty important. If they're all one colour you'll miss a lot of fish. It seems they key in on the head when it's a different colour. If you tie some larger black ones up give them an orange head.

BillM Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 After Solo and I sting all the biguns near the camp we will be running the rapid upriver. Try and follow if you dare!! With all the snow, I doubt there will be many rapids to run compared to last year, lol. Which will be nice, way more water to fish that's easy to get to. I'm sure my partner will be bringing the flyrod as well, should be a great week! Wanna tie me up some some articulated leeches? I need some for the resident brownies in Grey/Bruce :)
solopaddler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 Don't mean to be overly critical, but the hooks aren't big enough either.
misfish Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) Don't mean to be overly critical, but the hooks aren't big enough either. Guess Dave wont be lending any out then. Nice work Dave. Love the roaster looking one. Edited January 24, 2011 by Misfish

solopaddler Posted January 24, 2011 Report Posted January 24, 2011 That was real cruel Mike. Thought you said eddie would never steer ya wrong? Hows Zoey doing btw? Not to high jack this thread.LOL Hey if you can't poke fun at your friends then who? Zoey's doing great! She was 8lb's when we got her at new years and last week at the vet she was up to 121/2. She's a smart dog, she's learning fairly quick.
