Sparse Grey Matter

Allan,

I will try to get it when I get home. I can't download video from here.

In my experience I have found that it is better to let the fish stay on the bottom on the river where there is less current. So putting the rod tip in the air would bring the fish up in the water column creating more resistance on the fish and the hook/tippet combination. By keeping the rod tip down...

I carry mine in the first trip to a pond and if I find a boat in there it doesn't go back in but most ponds under 2 miles I still carry it in. You know once you get comfortable fishing out of something it is hard to switch back. Pete and Simon are nice guys to deal with. They both are avid fly guys....

Mike,

Don't you have a Hornbeck to carry into those remote ADK ponds?

That is the way I fish most of them.

Matt

Beautiful display CJ, I am jealous. I know I could build the frame but those flies I am not sure of to say the least.

CJ,

Did you delete my pms and emails to you?

Matt

I am glad this came up because I use the above #1 method and the Leisers Book of fly pattern calls for the #2 method and I was unsure if I was doing something wrong or it is just a style thing.

I will take that to note CJ. I only have a small piece of buck tail here with me but I will try it on the next batch when I am state side.

Thanks Mike. I never use a stacker on the calf tail and that is what I use. They do look scruffy so I wanted to see if I was doing something wrong.

Do you guys use calf tail or body hair for your wings on your Wulffs?
