These bream were delicious. Summertime and the livin’ is easy! Love those mayfly hatches. They sure have been light this year though. That worries me.

Shooting a fly into a Solo cup at 65 feet is no piece of cake, takes a lot of tries, but it can be done and there are some techniques that help.

Mississippi river white bass, i think, looking at him now those stripes are too perfect, I should have checked his tooth patches, might have been a striper.

Yep, another one for the “Slide Inn” challenge. #magnoliaflyfishers #samuraiflyshop #flyfishing #flycasting #slideinnchallenge

This “Slide Inn” challenge is fun and helping my accuracy, Aim small, miss small.

Grand Batture Island to be a Reality

A friend told me that a certain well known fly fisher made the comment on FB that another fly fisher told him he could hit a Dixie cup at 65 feet and he said if he could do it he would give him $5000 and he didn’t care how many casts it took. Well I didn’t make that claim but here’s my answer, my practice fly in a solo cup” at 65 feet. Took me a few tries but i did it. The next time it only took me ten tries to get the fly to “Slide Inn” the cup. It was actually fun and I think the drill is helping me. You know, aim small, miss small. Too bad I don’t have the video to claim the 5K! I suggest we do a “Slide Inn” challenge at the next meeting!

At last night’s club fly tying meeting T. gave me one of the bream sized woolly buggers he was tying. I took it out today and caught 6 nice brimski’s on it and sent him this pic. I always like to catch a fish with a gift fly and send a pic to the creator. Part of the fun. I will say it’s a good pattern because it has three rubber legs tied bully style and with the bead it had a nice slow sink rate. Good pattern, way to go T.

After all this rain I was still able to walk over to the ponds and catch about a dozen like this before dark. Hope everybody had a good Father’s Day but I know folks south of us are dealing with flood water, my heart goes out to them.

Where do Y’all stand on eyes for tarpon flies? I don’t think it matters much and usually don’t add them but I added them to this fly just to cover all the bases.

Son Chris with a red. We found a school of bulls near the rigs in 35 feet of water and it was on like Donkey Kong. Most in the twenty to 30+ range. Lots of work to bring them up from that depth. Managed 8 species, most of them from the rig. The tarpon were there the first day but wouldn’t bite and then just gone the next day. I expect maybe their close-mouthed demeanor was due to pre-spawn behavior, saving their energy. Maybe next trip.

My son Chris with a Grouper he caught on our trip to Louisiana. The fish was caught while fly fishing on drilling rigs using sinking sinking fly line in 35 feet of water.

Nice bluegill by Albert on the Rez.

Son Chris with a bodacious Jack Crevalle he caught on our recent trip in Louisiana fly fishing around the rigs with sinking line. Quite a battle. Had to be 30+ lbs.

Had a great trip to Louisiana with @shallowsouth sight casted this big alligator gar. The guide said to make him jump bring him in close and then pull hard on him. This what happened. Great trip, thank you Grayson for catching the video. #magnoliaflyfishers #samuraiflyshop #flyfishing #gar #alligatorgar

My version of Hexagenia Bilineata, moose hair, grizzly hackle and cut out mayfly wings, probably wont work as well as the white popper, and yeah i have some of those tied up “ just in case”, but at the end pf the day our club name is Magnolia “Fly” Fishers.

After catching redfish last week i was surprised to feel what seemed like a comparable fight, (considering its size), from this bluegill. You just have to love ‘em.

Guide Miles Larose with Magnolia Fly Fisher Mark Peevey and a hard won fish. Fishing two “dark and stormy” days we managed to catch fish in high winds and dark waters. All credit due to Miles who can read “rings and ripples” and knows when they are made by a redfish.
