Official Asylum Fly-fishing Thread

[kayak_rat]

Clousers, zonkers, mouse patterns, frog patterns, leech patterns, woolie buggers, and crayfish. I mainly fish warm water and use a variety of these. The bass lures a tad more pricey, but necessary. I have been tying alot of rabbit fur and pine squirrel patterns. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about setup or use. I have an 8wt Sage ZAxis that I use for lakes. I use my 5wt's for creeks or rivers. Also, what areas are you fishing? That will determine colors and such.

My cell number
eight seven zero - five seven seven - two seven eight one

I will be fishing in Northern Wisconsin on various lakes. The water is fairly dark. What sizes/weight of flys should I be using for my line? I have 2 bass bugs but havent used them yet. They are fairly big.

How about pm'ing me your address and I will get some out to you. As far as sizes....all depends. Most of what I throw on the river for smallies is size 6 to size 2. That pretty well covers smallmouth and a good portion of the largemouth. Check out the Bass section in the Orvis catalog. Also look at the streamers for trout. Alot of your flies will cross over from cold to warm water. Also check out the Outdoorsman's Banter thread in the banter section. There are alot of fellow fly fisherman there.

Figured this thread needed bumped. Went out today to a stream that was stocked on Monday. Ran into a huge pod of trout.....caught 5 on a brown nymph....I think it was a brown stone nymph. I had a huge one on, but it gave me one leap and then tossed my nymph back at me.

First time out this season for winter steelhead fishing, and I'll be darned if I didn't actually get one. A nice 29" hen that fought like crazy. Four good runs and left the water twice. This is one great Christmas present.
