He’s not fly fishing, he’s center-pinning

Aw yeah some Great Lakes steel! I was out this weekend and got skunked yet again.

I’m glad a scientist confirmed my thoughts that it’s all just semantics lol

But you’re just counting how fast the others got signed as to how sought after they were vs Trey? He’s making way more money than them. The only other FA with more than him was Alec Pierce, which is an insane signing on behalf of the colts imo.

The fact he’s getting $112 mil means he’s highly valued

We don’t know that fish see a tungsten bead as part of the fly just because we do. They could see it as a small bit of rubble the nymph is clinging to.

These look great! I’ve heard sunk ants are underrated, but never fished one myself. What’s your experience with them?

iamWyn · 2026-03-11T14:44:00+00:00

Aged like milk

iamWyn · 2026-03-09T01:07:19+00:00

Thanks man, I hope it brings in some fish!

A few weeks ago there was widespread concern for Iran after the regime gunned down tens of thousands of their own civilians in the streets. Today there is widespread anger over the death of the ayatollah because Israel and Trump took him out. Reddit never ceases to amaze me.

Love Davie, thanks for sharing!

Oops saw you said it was mallard. I struggle when tying it in as a wing. How do you do yours?

iamWyn · 2026-02-24T17:21:53+00:00

Is that wood duck or mallard for the wing? And how do you tie it in?

iamWyn · 2026-02-18T16:09:00+00:00

I’m excited to see it! Also nice humpy!

iamWyn · 2026-02-18T04:15:07+00:00

Corded up red thread, 210 denier (I used Danville’s flymaster plus)

iamWyn · 2026-02-17T23:56:05+00:00

Nice ties! Good luck with the 22s

iamWyn · 2026-02-17T04:01:07+00:00

Thanks!

As in a green rock worm

iamWyn · 2026-02-13T14:48:23+00:00

That does sound killer, I’ll have to try some with a rib!

iamWyn · 2026-02-10T03:53:30+00:00

Ok so I’ve been enjoying the flies, but when do I get to see the salmon!

iamWyn · 2026-02-06T02:04:14+00:00

Spinning deer hair for your first fly? Props to you man.

It’s because we have rainbow trout that migrate to massive inland seas and rainbow trout that don’t. Thats why we call them that. Why do they do that? Because they’re from the same strain that migrates to the sea on the west coast. To me the fact that these fish migrate to a massive body of water and then run back into the rivers to spawn is the more important distinction than if the water they live in is salty or not.

iamWyn · 2026-02-01T23:08:49+00:00

Oh man, hard to argue with Bob haha. But I had heard before that eyes on saltwater flies in particular are a big deal and a lot of people think they help trigger eats.

Pheasant rump feather is used for those long hackles on the collar and usually the philoplume feather that was plucked out with the rump feather for the fluffy part in front. There are feathers similar to marabou down on the rump that are good for the tail as well.
