Do you love big bluegill?
here is what my paint booth looks like now, kind of resembles a cardboard box LOL. Any body got any ideas for an economical paint booth. Plans for a wood one? I would like something easy to store…Continue

Ok, I've been fishing one of these for a couple weeks now, and I've caught all sorts of fish on it. Bluegill, Green Sunfish, BG x RE Hybrids, and a LMB. Because of the spun hair head, this fly…Continue

DICK those bugs look like killers to me especially the Chartruese ones in the middle that look like BEE ties. WHat's the body material for the larva bodies made of?
caught this on sucker spawn pink with flashabou tail
Boy - they sure are small. I Wonder what the trout are feeding on
Allen. You must have something they like in you bag of tricks.
Well, trout season is here. I've been trying to catch some trout with my fly rod, but haven't connected yet. I can watch them hit top, sometimes jump clean out of the water not 15' from me, but not catch them. I'm thinking they're hitting midges. I've tied up some Griffith's Gnats, some size 16, a couple size 20. Man, those things are small!!!
Allen, the only thing I came across was this link: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/showthread.php?47580-Anyone-have...
I also found that Catalpa Worms were the larva for these moths and these two patterns looked like good ties :

I remember catching sphinx moths once as a kid, they were really fast flyers. The funny thing was the strange setting for this. At night, under the lights in front of the HQ for what was then called San Diego Gas & Electric. My dad worked second shift and I was with my mom dropping him off for work. I'd seen the moths and brought my butterfly net the next time and convinced her to stop for a while :)
I added a good specimen or two to my butterfly collection that night.
Anyone happen to have a recipe for a Sphinx Moth fly? Or know where I can find one online?
I've been seeing dead or dying Sphinx Moths lately. They're huge! About the size of a Cicada, maybe bigger. I seriously doubt a Bluegill can handle one, but a Green Sunfish, Warmouth, LMB, Catfish, etc., will probably inhale a big gulp of protein like that.
