Nice fish and Congratulations on your record fish. I have not heard of a Tadpole fly. Did you make it yourself? Also what color and was it a sinking fly? Again congratulations on your record!

Laker One. A Tadpole fly is real simple Wooly Bugger without the hackle. It is an old British fly I learned about and how to tie while I was a member of the Bury St Edmonds Fly Dressing Guild in 1990. Tied in bright yellow or black on a size 14 hook is a killer when you can't make up your mind on what to start using. It is a slow sinker which can either be tied with lead or a bead head. I like to tie with lead underbody with a red thread wrap head.

Nice fish and congratulations on your Flyrod Record! Side Note: Keep this up and you will catch Banker in about 10 years!

Thanks Gitter. Well try as I might, I don't reckon I ever get close to Banker. At 72, I don't think I will have 10 more years of fishing left in me. Them banks are getting steeper, and the rocks on the creek bed are getting slipperier every year.

Them banks are getting steeper, and the rocks on the creek bed are getting slipperier every year. Yes Sir I know the feeling! That's why there are nice flat bank spaces,docks, nice lawn chairs,shaded trees,and ice chest with cold drinks! Also it's also nice to have a great guide on hand! This will add ten more years of fishing for us retires.
