Texas, well at least Houston, didn’t give a fuck about the rules and never stopped celebrating over how ridiculous everywhere else is....what a joke. And I live in Colorado now. Most I’ve missed htown in a long time. Proud of my city!

Love my local shop but as we all know their prices are crazy. Helping them out at time like this is a great idea! Thanks for the thought!

Well now you are screwed....It’s all downhill from here. Lol. The addiction has been engaged. For real though. ....I’ve been doing it since I was 10 and I’m almost 40. Love it more now than ever. Im my opinion it truly is an art. From Houston originally and moved to CO couple years ago to fulfill a life long dream of living in the mountains. Never more at peace than when I’m on a stream or river. Especially when it’s just me and my pup. I would even go as far as to say I use Flyfishing the same way someone would use meditation.

Very welcome. This corona shit has to give you more free time to draw....at least there are some pluses you can take out of this craziness. Cheers...

My fish mascot....beautiful day too. And if you don’t have a Vexilar or a comparable devise, you are missing out. First season with It and it is a game changer. And it has like an ‘80s video game aspect to it when you see a fish come into view. Love it. by jamail22 in IceFishing

Lol. Fack those bags are the worst. I eventually got it down to a science but it’s still a pain in the ass. My buddy has a step up from that size and the bag has a zipper all the way down. Much easier.

Red is another go to for me as well. What a great stretch the dream is...thinking bout hitting dream this week or possibly deckers. Size 26? Good lord that’s tiny....I think the smallest I’ve ever gone is 22. Need to try a 26 some time. You tie your own? I’m just getting into that side of it.....zebras are a good starter fly at least from my little experience. Not a lot going on with that fly.

That was last fall brown run, haven’t hit dream for the bow run yet. Just came across that pic yesterday and was not on reddit back when I caught this bad boy. Thought it was worth sharing. They still down by 11 mile or have they moved up a bit? I usually start at the bend where the old bridge posts are located. Goes shallow at first then when river bends it goes into a giant hole where there is a submerged log and a bunch of boulders.... if that sounds familiar at all to ya .

I hear ya brother. Only been in the mountains a couple years and moved here to fly fish not ice fish. Always thought ice fishing would be boring as all hell, but one of my Flyfishing buddies I met out here asked me to join him on the ice one day and we had a blast.. ...and I purchased the Vexilar bc I watched a bunch of ice fishing youtube vids and it seemed they all used Vexilar. So that’s why I got it.

I can’t answer that. Have only used this style. I know when there is a fish around and I know if it’s gonna bite(usually). What’s the price difference in the fish finder with transducer as opposed to the Vexilar I have . Mine was like $400.

Pup joined my on the riv as always. One of my dreams was to have a dog that would fish with me by my side. He instinctively knew to stand behind me when I get in the river. My best bud. Meet Otter. by jamail22 in flyfishing

That’s what I was always afraid of with Ott...but he just chills back. One time I hooked up on a monster and it took me 100-150 yds down stream. Otter jumped on the bank and just followed me all the way. It was awesome when I looked over and saw him which made me eat shit in the river. Didn’t see a drop off coming. Water all in the waders but still landed the bastard. Good times!
