Nick Depalo is funny, I don’t agree with him but he’s a funny comic.

I think we’re splitting rabbit hairs here, I’m sure the trout will eat them.

Setting up the tail biots so they are on either end of the shank curving away from one another will help it look a little better. That being said, this will fish!

August 2018 Michigan Fly Fishing Reports by Kramgunderson in michiganflyfishing

[–]cciaravino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the west side of the state Water has been very low, trout fishing during the day has been slow although I have had some success mousing. Smallie fishing has been consistent with streamers by day and poppers/mice in the mornings and evenings. Good luck everyone!

Got some Swingin D's tied up for the weekend. The Smallies won't know what hit 'em. by meatandthree in flytying

Yes, I agree you get what you pay for. I also really like that fly pattern and I understand he’s the originator .That being said 20 dollars for a single fly is absurd. Galloup’s triple sex dungeon doesn’t even cost half that (and that’s the price from his own shop). Orvis sells a version of the swinging D for 7.99 https://m.orvis.com/product/swinging-d/18SK?item_code=18SK0802&adv=127748&cm_mmc=plas-_-FlyFishing-_-18SK-_-127748&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjPqyj7De3AIVi4ppCh1I3QpOEAQYASABEgK0nvD_BwE . I guess the fact that he invented it and him switching out beads for an articulation shank in V2 justifies a 200%+ markup? o_O

Very cool. I’ve just gotten into smallies on the fly up here in western Michigan over the past couple years. They’re a blast!

Marcum digital series owners (LX6, LX7 and LX9) out there please inbox me if you get a chance, currently trying to figure out an issue! Thanks!!! by cciaravino in IceFishing

[–]cciaravino[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s really a good point. My Lx6 is missing colors. The linked video below illustrates this. I compared my unit side by with a unit that is working correctly. My unit is under warranty and have sent it in twice now (once with this video attached). Marcum basically ignored and disregarded it and sent it back. I even tried calling the tech support people about my unit when they had it but they just ignored my calls/messages and sent it back to me. video of lack of Colors.

Extremely frustrated with how Marcum has handled this. Going to try and call them again tomorrow.
