My first time for me

[fflutterffly]

What's in a name? As you can see Unskunkable is just that! With winds whipping white caps , even blowing us off the rocks, David was able to hook into two nice Strippers. I had one hook up but lost the Striper. Still happy. Thanks David for a wonderful morning and the use of the equipment.

Very nice Ariel, at least you got to feel the hookup!

I have yet to catch me a striper/stripper

Maybe I need to go to where they hang out huh?

[beachbum]

Dave catches fish, there's no doubt. I am refraining from any witty comments in the interest of keeping the board clean, on the spelling of stripers! It brought a chuckle though.

[FlyinFish]

Good stuff and glad you got to tug on one.


You might be a redneck if...
I was at Pyramid Lake a long time ago when they had boat rentals and a shack. They had a sign up sheet for their striper derby. Just a legal pad and at the top it said "Striper Derby" and that was crossed out. Under it was "Stripper Derby" and that was crossed out. And, finally, under that was written "Striper Derby." They eventually figured it out!

First time huh. Strip(p)ers eh.

I can honestly say that I've never hooked a stripper. Unfortunately, I've never hooked a striper either, so congrats on that achievement!

Pretty sweet I have never caught one of "those" fish on a fly rod before.

If I went in and made the correction you 'boys' wouldn't have anything to laugh about today! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh right, the best way to catch a stripper is to let the fly down slowly and then * it as if your trying to peel the enamel off. Oh La La! I wouldn't know. That's what David told me

[beachbum]

Dollar flies.

[NorcalBob]

Yeppers, a dollar bill fly is a sure way to attract a stripper!!!!!

[fflutterffly]

Are we having fun yet!

[beachbum]

Yes. Thank you.

Now you know what has a hold on me lately! Just got back from Feather, American, and San Luis Res
chasing strippers (sic). Definetly had a personal best on last Friday and never got to see it. John T lost one in a tree that we got to see that was about 20 pounds.
Tie lotsa chart/white clousers and get an integrated T-14 for the deep ones. John T is throwing a Sage Xi3 in a 9 wt and in my opinion, feels like the rod to have. Although my cheap TFO's get the job done.
We've been working on our own version of the "pole dancers" for Castaic for when the boils start next month, need a floating line for that. Outbound shorts are the ticket for that. See you out there.
