It also resembles a lot of the bass bugs used on a fly rod. :) The fly is tied for initial use at Davis Lake in the Oregon Cascades. This is a fishery that used be prime for big rainbows until illegally planted largemouths took over. There are bucketmouths there in the 6-7 pound range, and the

[VFB] Flies vs lures

2010-02-09 Thread Jimmy D. Moore
Over the years we've had several discussions on what makes a fly a fly and a lure a lure. It's pretty well summed up below in a piece from Wikipedia. If it takes a fly rod and fly line to cast it, it's a fly. If it takes the weight of the lure to cast it, its a lure. Therefore fly rods

My favorite for travel is to get a lightweight binder and put in 8-1/2 x 11 pages of clear plastic business card files. Each pocket meant to hold a business card will hold a LOT of dubbing. For an additional trick, punch a hole in the face of each pocket and pull the dubbing through the hole

Wes, I have several binders made up that way for some small hackle capes. It works fine and it would work as well for dubbing as you say. This is bringing out a number of good ideas and gets the list active. Keep it up. Tony --- On Tue, 2/9/10, Wes Wada w...@wadaworks.com wrote: From: Wes Wada
