Clam fishing! I love it. Alright Bob, Brian has really, uh, lowered the bar here. :lol:
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Brian. My only question is: How did you bring that in without breaking-off?

It was a lengthy battle. I thought I would have to break that mollusk off. Ultralights need not apply.

Hey Brian, I checked some of my old pics and this one came up!

I thought I had some moss on the hook, when I brought it in close, I could not believe that I nailed this little guy!
And NO, I did not fish with it! :?

But FB, that one's foul hooked! Oh wait, maybe it swallowed that fly. That's it, it's gut hooked! :lol:

Clam Fishing is not for the faint of heart.. takes alot of persistence to be successful at it on a constant basis....

All three of those pictures would be hard to beat. Maybe you all should have played the lotto that day.
