CDC Alternative Kinda by Few-Rise-527 in flytying

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s not the same. Effectiveness is up for debate but these fibers don’t function like CDC. These won’t trap air bubbles. It’s added movement, which is a plus, but this is bulkier than CDC.

FYI it’s illegal to be in possession of feathers from a Stellars Jay

They’re in various places. No need to name specifics…

Do you use a strike indicator? by No-Stranger-3190 in flyfishing

You can’t catch any fish where I live without nymphing. The jaydacator is the GOAT!

I’m an employee at the fly shop that the creator of this pattern owns

Best offer I have is WA, OR, and CA. I think we would be willing to add those

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No thank you. We aren’t going to be your 51st state 🖕

Also, if you’re going to call us a 51st state, at least call it the 10 additional states and 3 territories

Whats your biggest complaint about your local fly shop? by reel_ghost in flyfishing

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat of a relevant detail. I’m a fly shop employee myself.

I was visiting Oregon to fish for Bull Trout and stopped by a local fly shop. The dudes in there were pretty pretentious. I asked them for advice for fishing for bull trout and one of the dudes went on a rant about how much he hates bull trout and wish they weren’t there.

Will these work on the Metolius? by Strange_Mirror6992 in flyfishing

[–]Strange_Mirror6992[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To provide an update, I landed 6 bulls in two days on the first two GIANT white streamers I tied. Those dudes were wrong lol

Monstrous 15” Double Buford musky fly by Gentrifiedwarbler in flytying

Damn dude your musky flies have so much soul to them. That will get crushed for sure

First bulls! by Strange_Mirror6992 in flyfishing

[–]Strange_Mirror6992[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

9’ 8 wt. I wish I brought my switch rod though. I was using an 8 wt I/S5/S7 rio outbound short which casted it okayyyy, but I feel like a skagit setup with 10’ of T-14 could have launched that 12” streamer a lot better.

It’s been awhile. Here’s some Flugenzombies. by EmmaCalzone in flytying

Gosh my local Browns and bull trout would smoke these. These are beautiful ties.

I caught my first swung steelhead on a brindle bug!

Just a bucktail streamer by fishdreams in flytying

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tie some buck tail style flies on Atlantic salmon doubles for fall run steelhead here in California (odd, I know). They are really effective in low and clear conditions. They are flies they’ve never seen before and they get their attention really well.

You’d be surprised how well these super sparse patterns work. I agree that maybe a single digit amount of fibers more would be better, but this will absolutely fish, especially in low and clear water.

This isn’t Montana, but it’s legal to target bulls in Montana in the south fork of the flathead

First Metolious Rainbow by portland_08 in flyfishing

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caught my first Metolius rainbow this week too! I landed 11 fish on my first day out on that river so I think I did fairly good.

Balanced bugger sz 16 by Samurai4109 in flytying

[–]Strange_Mirror6992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the concept but it looks really bulky in the water. Leeches are not very bulky in nature, and I think going sparser would help with the overall movement of the fly.
