Hey, Adam - Is this what you were talking about?!!! It is a particularly large "fly" that uses a hook about 4" long!! If you have any other suggestions, please let us know!!!!

egg-sucking girdlebooger!!

Today Melissa and I went to Sport Lake to do some trout fishing. The last of the ice cleared off the lake today and we were exited to put the canoe in and do some fly-fishing. The weather was nice, 54 degrees and just a little breezy. We launched the canoe and paddled across the lake to a calm cove. Melissa had a fish in the boat before I could even get my fly line in the water!! she boated three small Kokanee salmon and released them before I had my first fish on. Some popular fly patterns here are the egg sucking leach, the girdle bug, and the wooly bugger. I figured I would cover all the bases so I sat down at my fly-tying table in the tackle room and invented the egg-sucking girdlebugger. It was the only fly that produced fish, we were there for two and a half hours and caught nine fish. I now have a lot of egg-sucking girdlebuggers to tie before our next outing!!

Gettin' Ready

FISHING time is almost here! Pat is getting ready by tying flies to fish with this summer! This photo with the window was taken around 8:15 - PM!! It's getting lighter and lighter!!
