My Dad's neighbor has a still in his machine shed and makes custom ones for people as his hobby. Best part is the dude is a retired US Marshall, love everything about him.





Also @Huskerbuck85 my Dad texted me today a pic of his first fly rod catch from his dock. He said the hardest part was getting my mom to come down to the dock and take the picture. lol

That is awesome! Bet he had a blast.

Apparently his fly rod was cucked today by an old school children-esk bobber and worm.


Said he would be mad but anytime he can kill a Carp is good.

I used to catch carp on a flyrod in the creek behind parents house. That was fun. Tell him to try a prince nymph if the carp are plentiful. He'll still catch bluegill.

I’ll tell him cuz apparently today after that little baby bluegill he was shutout on the fly rod.

My uncle caught 4 and my Dad’s 2nd pole with the bobber caught that carp.


My Dad is pretty butt hurt right now, I see in the pic him mixing scotch and diet squirt in the big Daylight Donuts mug so you know he is down bad.

If they just want to catch bluegill the more shiny and obnoxious the better. Bright orange/pink scud preferably with flash in it. Something like this. Should be able to find anywhere flies are sold.

My Dad is just starting to get into fly fishing too.

He went trout fishing a month ago and got 2 pretty decent size trout and he said the fight with them on a fly rod was like catching a monster on a regular pole.

Said he is addicted now.

Can confirm.

I would have to agree with him. I caught a 45lb flathead last year using a carp just a little smaller than that one as bait.

Wooly's work good for bass too. They're also by far the easiest to tie too.

We’ve got decent bass going into yr 3 now on the pond. I’ve got to learn a better tying methods unless there are none. I used the polymer knot but the flies were so tiny that it’s a pain.

Just do a clinch or trilene. Easier with that smaller diameter line.

Got ambitious and tried to fish a stream which is a tributary of a major river where I live. I might need to wait another week or two.

No, I’m had a buddy catch a couple on Tuesday but he was cagey on where exactly he was. Nice to get out to see the stream but would have been more productions fishing a lake with my float tube. It was 60 degrees where I was fishing.

My cousin’s son caught this yesterday

For perspective the kid is 6’2 and an 8th grader.

I’ve planted about 15 acres so far this year with this old beast!
