I'm goin'....

Postby Artin » April 12th, 2012, 6:17 am

So I am heading out tomorrow morning to the East side. Hitting the road @ 4 am and not looking back! I am pretty excited. Thanks all for the caddis suggestions. And Tim for the emails. I have a couple of hours today to do some damage on the vice and pack up my gear.
I am so stoked! Haven't been there since my last trip to Bishop that was cut short because my son was sick and I decided to drive back the same day.
Gonna fish here

And here

And I am definitely not going to catch any of these

If any of you nuts are up there and see a guy with a boo rod swinging it around looking like it's his first time with a fly fishing pole on the water tangled up in stream side brush stop by and say hello...

Haha! nah completely wild, I think they were feeding heavily on the shrimp that are on the right of them, this account's for the beautifully clipped fins and deformed heads!

Have a great trip. I am looking forward to the report when you get back. :D
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Tie up some BWO Dry Emergers
Size 18 Mustad 94833 - Materials tied in this order;
Gray Thread
Elk Hair tied in with the tips facing forward over the eye of the hook
Olive Biot body
Collar of CDC dubbing right where biot & Elk join.
Drift it down stream right next to the opposite bank. Maybe you'll get one of these;

I sure will Tim!
And to your statement about freezing my butt off...
why yes... yes I am! But hopefully I will have some trouts to keep me warm ;)

Thanks for the tip Fish.. I will try to get some of those tied as well.... and the other side of the hill always seems to be better than my side.... Looks like I have some castin' to do!

Curtis,
Most likely I will be in the Bishop area on Sun. fishing near a few buildings if you know what I mean... I will be in my friends Expedition parked off the side.... Look me up if you're around! There will be 4 of us, 2 friends and my Brother.. Should be good!
