Bakersfield eating and tying event

[castaway]

had a good time... Craig it was nice to meet you in the flesh ---- Tell Lisa Im sorry for keeping you out late... ok, very late.... ok, ok, way too late!

Had a great time... FLies that worked for me.

The San Juan bait (I really hate using this fly)
yellow stimmy's
small sub-surface stuff

On Friday night I hooked into the biggest fish I have seen on the kern above town!
Got him on a stimulater! What a rush... but I freaked out and lost him... I saw him the following day at the bottom of the pool.... couldnt get him to move at all! There are still some hogs in the kern!

the Pre-vue tying event



My feeble attempt at a ice cream cone midge



Now... you take this Troll knuckle hair and you place it on the hook..




My two good ones from Friday... both on a san juan bait dunker






I think we all know pictures just dont do the fish justice

and now I present you with the ALL TIME BEST PICTURE OF ME! (ok there is worse... but I cant bring myself to post it)

you can almost here it!

Hay! Cledis!!! get the stringer and some budweisers! I got me a big'un!

These tying events are a lot of fun...get your local junkies together for some fun!
