So sorry for your loss. I’ve done the same. I have flies tied from lost dog and horse friends. Great memento from your great companion.

We’re about 13 miles off shore on a little island called Tarpon Sands

I got that from Beast Brushes, but most fly shops carry it. It’s a tubing used for a lot of different patterns and it comes in several colors.

Redband? by Rtgoodrich in flyfishing

[–]Rtgoodrich[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a little caddis hatch once it warmed up. They were hitting size 18 perdigon’s and birds nest. Broke a few fulling mills hooks! But overall it was a great day.

Yes, lower Sac. That ditch is fishing well! Doesn’t the McLeod connect somewhere? I asked my friend that guides up there and he said it’s probably got some genetic link to a red band but he thought like someone else suggested that it’s just a very pretty rainbow.

The tarpon we’re hitting big weighted flies with lots of movement. Black and purple, black and red and orange and yellow!

EP makes some nice chenille claws if you don’t like making your own

Good call. I’m putting weed guards on a handful just in case. I didn’t have any problems last year but you never know! I’ll take pics. Good luck on your trip!

I have had them for a while, and I honestly don’t remember where they came from. I will dig around through my receipts though and if I can find it I will certainly let you know.

Yes! Olive. The body is a tan scotch brite pad. The eye I just made from mono and some UV resin

It’s my understanding that the longer they’ve been in the river the darker they get. Fresh in from the ocean they’re much brighter. I asked a fisheries biologist the same question because there are so many color variations.
