The Willow - pa - 11-22-2011 Tayler(grandson) and I hit the Willow today with the fly rods. Was cold, cloudy, and raining when we arrived.Tayler put on a BWO, and I tied on a Hares Ear. Slight wind out of the North today, but as we were using the 5wt rods it was not an issue. I managed 2 on the nymph and Tayler got 2 on the dry. He is here from Idaho for the week. No pictures today. There were LARGE ALBINOS cruising the shore line, but we couldn't get them to take anything. [signature] Re: [pa] The Willow - TyeDyeTwins - 11-22-2011 Nice Pa....those albinos are likely wanting something bigger than a fly. When you do hook into one...let us know.

Is that one with blue dubbing instead of brown etc? Pic? [signature] Re: [cpierce] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-22-2011 Yes, blue is a great color right now. I will do the picture thing. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] The Willow - cpierce - 11-22-2011 I love haresears. I have used them forever, but never thought of tying them in a color like blue. It should work great! [signature] Re: [cpierce] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-22-2011 I do a gold color when Golden stoneflies are active, Black when black stoners, Olive for Damsels...Multi tasking pattern. [signature] Re: [pa] The Willow - DKStroutfitter - 11-22-2011 I great pattern right now is a small [size 14 or 12] leach. Use semi seal or ice dubbing for the body. Add a marabou tail and a bead head and you are ready to fish. Try the Blue, Purple, Black and Brown colors. Don't be afraid to mix the colors together. I also like a small amount of flash in the tail. Fish it under an indicator and move it up or down to locate the depth of the fish. [signature] Re: [DKStroutfitter] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-22-2011 OKAY!!!!! STOP YELLING AT ME!!! LOL I have had luck with the Midnight Fire/Captain America, but Haresear is my go to as Pa has seen. When all else fails...... [signature] Re: [flygoddess] The Willow - pa - 11-22-2011 we are going again tomorrow. see ya there? [signature] Re: [pa] The Willow - EvilTyeDyeTwin - 11-22-2011 Be sure to push all the little kids out of the way to get that perfect spot and fish. As someone who has had the pleasure of fishing with you that was just a joke. Hitting the Weber and/or the Provo tomorrow, let us know how ya do.

But I hear they stick real good to Treble hooks[laugh] Got to work till at least 10 Pa, so we shall see. You know, I rarely see children at that pond. I see a lot of older people taking their limits though. And cigarette butts everywhere, specially under the sign that reads "No Smoking". Ironic isn't it?

You guys don't have to cry so hard over these fish as most will be coming home today. [signature] Re: [TyeDyeTwins] The Willow - kochanut - 11-22-2011 if you fish the provo have a blast! like i have said earlier you guys could really help that place out by thining out the browns in there, hell everyone could really help by taking at least 1 home. if you guys fish the weber use some ethics and stay off the redds. if you fish the middle section remember the regs change between the bridges and watch out for the private property signs. if you fish the lower have fun lol [signature] Re: [kochanut] The Willow - TyeDyeTwins - 11-22-2011 [quote kochanut]if you fish the provo have a blast! like i have said earlier you guys could really help that place out by thining out the browns in there, hell everyone could really help by taking at least 1 home. if you guys fish the weber use some ethics and stay off the redds. if you fish the middle section remember the regs change between the bridges and watch out for the private property signs. if you fish the lower have fun lol[/quote] Yep that place along the middle weeb is a riddle of Private Property. Well we actually rarley wade in the rivers so the redds will be safe from us. We thought about asking some of the property owners for permission but maybe next year. Offer them free work for fishing rights or something? [signature] Re: [cpierce] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-22-2011 Got to field test it, but here or should I say HARE it is: Tail and wing case are Blue Phesant Tail, the other two wing case is pearl Mylar (flash back) [signature] Re: [flygoddess] The Willow - jonesnforfish - 11-22-2011 Those are good looking flies. Let us know how they work, PM is fine. I am going to branch out on my colors of hares ear patterns for sure. [signature] Re: [jonesnforfish] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-22-2011 I pulled out a tiny RED pheasant tail last year on the creeks and MAN! I have no idea what the fish thought it was, but they wanted it. I know Uintas, Orange, Yellow and Purple. Sorry Pa for hi-Jacking [signature] Re: [flygoddess] The Willow - TubeDude - 11-23-2011 [cool][#0000ff]Orange and pink are two good colors this time of year...for several species.[/#0000ff] [signature] Re: [TubeDude] The Willow - flygoddess - 11-23-2011 Thanks.
