Do you use a float tube or just fish from the bank? All on the fly?Most lakes I go with a float tube but waders or wet wading for this lake get me far enough from the bank. This trip I packed waders but never put them on, it’s a long ways to take a float tube. And yep all on flies. There was a huge mayfly hatch so I only caught one on a dry because there were so many other bugs to eat, most of them that I caught were on a size 8 pats stone. :tup:

Otherwise known as the #8 Catch-all. What a great fly.

Started fishing the pats stone last year, been using them all summer and it is one heck of a fly for sure.Do you use a float tube or just fish from the bank?

Looks like you have the winning recipe Birdgetter. :drool: ( You're Fly reminds me of a Water Strider ).

Hmm... thanks guys. I'll have to tie some of these up. Don't have any. I usually don't do a lot of rubber-legs stuff, but I'll have to make an exception. :tup:
Make me some too! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Such beautiful fish thanks for sharing. What's the back story on that rod?It’s a Echo 5 weight Small Water glass rod, got it as a present probably 4 years ago. I put a Amber Redington Rise on it to match. That combo has caught a bunch of fish. :tup:

You can't tie these yourself, for what they will cost you Online, (if before you fish them, you add a little extra Head Cement to keep them from unraveling). ;) To get them check out places like......

Oh jeez...
I've already bought a 6.5 Creedmore this year. I don't know if I can go that far down the rabbit hole as to start buying flies too... I've been tying them since I was 14. I don't know that I've bought a half dozen flies in my whole life :chuckle:

Simplest fly to tie.
Cost me a ton of pheasant feathers.
Nice guy but his daughter was mean.

Thanks for the post! Hope to get my kids to fish out of their packs someday! (Hope to do more myself too!) Some of my best memories! Thanks for the reminder!
Post by: Pathfinder101 on August 02, 2019, 01:35:21 PM
You'll do fine. Chances are you have all the required materials already anyhow, except maybe the rubber legs. Be careful though, once you go rubber, you never go back....
