just got back from my yearly trip to my favorite lake.unpacked the van and headed out fish'n took less then 15 minutes till i got my first bow, a scrappy "fat 19incher" before the end of the night got 3 more the same size and my buddy a couple himself.Ahh cant forget my personal trophy size 21 inch super fat brown. the rest of the week was just as good ........wooo hoooo fish on!!!!!!!!!! good fish'n to you all and btw the new forum seems great

So why the secret? If you cant tell the name of the lake why bother to say anything at all.
So just another fish story. Or a fictious tale

T M,

You notice I don't attempt to bore you with tales of my personal secret lake.

I will be holding a zen retreat there this weekend.

..... ANDDDD... I have a new fly to try out. It's a smallmouth fly, a cross between an olive woolly bugger and a popper.

zen leecher

no secret, maybe if you just ask i will tell

Zen Leecher, would the cross between the bugger and popper be a Bopper?

T M,

Your "funny" asks a question I never considered. Me, I just thought this fly was a hybrid slider and was satisfied with the answer I got "it's for smallmouths".

Don't know if it really has a name either.

I wasn't joking when I said it was a cross between an olive woolly bugger and a popper. Now.. the popper head is reversed so its a slider.

Thought it might just be the thing to fool bigger trout who thought they'd seen (or bit) everything.

I read in a Warden Lake fishing report where this one guy used a rubber frog for trout.

Last year I caugt two 10 inch trout off of a three inch tube. They were in a foot of water, and under a log Trout raised by bass I don't know

O.K. Crazycritter28, I'm biting, let me know where your lake is and I'll try it out. Always in for some fun. e-mail me at thomas.jacobs@verizonwireless.com.
