While turkey hunting i found this weir with a little white water roiling through it. White egrets were all over it so i knew it had fish. Tried it with a fly rod and caught the white bass shown here. Didn’t have time to try for more but i’ll have my rod in the truck on the next trip . Huge gar were rolling and a couple of 8 foot gators were guarding it.

I was turkey hunting in the swamps yesterday and bumped into this flower in the middle pf the swamp. “Spring Spiderlily” according to plant.id. Hymenocallis liriodome. That was nice, also my son called in a swamp gobbler for me and i missed him at about 40 yards. In my defense i was waiting for the hen to get safely away and waited too long then hurried the shot. My bad, but it was a ton of fun and the gobbler lives to breed another day.

I don’t know how much this fish weighed and i had no tape but it did reach from my fingertips to my arm pits. Hard to believe i got it in on a fly i tied with a piece from a finger i cut from a microfiber dusting mitt tied on a size 17 thin wire dry fly hook with a little lead wrap.

David Buckner from the Gulf Coast Fly Fishers came up to Florence and gave the Magnolia Fly Fishers tying lessons on three flies, one of which was his imitation of the dwarf crawfish. I took the one i tied out to the neighborhood ponds and caught 4 bass. And it was a day when it appeared nothing was going to bite. Great pattern David, thanks!

Ooh! They just keep getting bigger. #sarah_the_closer_parvin how does this one compare? If i could just bottle and sell the feeling in the grip from the tugging they do, i could get rich.

Took a break from turkey hunting today, (the gobbler was hung up anyway) and went to see if the white bass were still running. Did catch the one pictured here and also caught a nice long nose gar. Saved my day!

Nice day to be fishing. Mop fly caught this one.

Gave the crappie a try but had to punt and fall back to the ponds. The neighborhood ponds almost always produce a few fish even on a bad day. My beat up stripping bucket sure earns its keep considering all the goose/duck droppings, pine cones, sticks, grass etc that you find in a neighborhood pond.

What is this creature? Hint: Moose and ….

The fish were on fire today in the neighborhood ponds!

Fly fishing for white bass!

Big boy, 20+ lbs I think. Sight casting, my cast was on the nose. Coolfollow and eat. Fun, and didn’t even have to pay thousands of dollars to catch it.

A “new to me” tarpon fly, Tickle-me-Elmo pattern seen on Tailwater Fly Shop Youtube channel. Easy-peasy, arctic fox and laser dub, but i added some purple marabou cuz if its for tarpon its gotta have purple. Thanks Tailwater https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RlpjETBaqq0.

Shellcrackers will be moving into warm shallows soon, they will need some shells to crack!

The fish in the ponds are waking up. Had a good day.
