Hi all.
I was wondering would anyone be interested in a pike fly swap, i'll just throw that out there .I am getting rather keenon this aspect of our sport and the creations you can produce off your vice is only held back by the size of your imagination.

Oscars are rampant down here (yup, the same ones they sell in pet stores). We have one intentionally introduced exotic, the Butterfly Peacock or Peacock Bass. I hope to go fishing for these soon. They're a South American fish which the state introduced to eat some of the other fish and provide a new species of gamefish. Beautiful fish. On the saltwater side I'd guess that we'll probably end up using a lot of the same flies, maybe in different colors though? Since I'm pretty new to this I've only used a clouser so far. I've been unsuccessful but I'm sure it's primarily due to my casting ability! I've tied a bunch of others I'm looking forward to using. I also picked up a bunch from Outdoor World/Bass Pro Shops that I don't know how to tie yet. They ran a coupon in Fl. Sportsman: 6 flies for $.99. How can you pass that up? By tarpon you mean the pattern? I saw a pattern in the last issue of Fly Fish America called "J's baby tarpon" or something like that. I have one but I haven't used it yet. I did see a tarpon a couple of weeks ago when I was fishing (my first time on a flat with my fly rod; oh heck my first time fishing on a flat) and I did cast to it but no luck. Probably wouldn't have known what to do if I did hook it! Wow, this ended up being longer than I thought, signing off now. Ken www.snorkelsite.com
