Was a good day on the water depends on how you look at it. Caught 25-30 spice was a great day none the less. The sunset was amazing!

Well anyone that's ever been around me I can pretty much just open a box full of chartreuse and white Clousers in size six lol. If it eats meat of any kind it will eat that! That is literally the only fly I carry during the actual sand bass and striper run that alleviates any concern for me thinking about changing flies because it's all I've got. I am still not sure how that copper nose engulfed that thing is much as it did. I will go up to a size two when the striper are a little bit bigger. Most of the striper are Big sandbass size still a lot of fun on the four wt

Thanks Robert! Looks like I need to put in an order for some #6 chartreuse and white clousers! I haven't started tying yet, but I suspect I'll wind up doing that by the end of the year.

Well if you frequent Texas waters it is a must have in the box and if you ask me one of the easier to tie. As much as I work though my vise sits there and I buy flys go figure.

I like how you can see your reflection in the Bluegill photo. Cool shot. Heck of a nice fish as well.

Rotfl it took me two months to figure out how to get them up there in the first place. now you want me to figure out how to take them down. I hardly know how to fish and your over there wanting me to work a computer haha. Hey the "run" lol I keep thinking it will give out but we are on three years and hasn't given up yet.
