Celticav Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I love these, great summer time baits for early morning and late evening, those lunkers love a warm blooded snack. These were tied by a friend of mine and I wouldn't take fifty bucks for either one of them. Great craftsmanship and few things cast like a wet rat.

Big Splash Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Cool buzzbaits, I think every angler has a desire to catch a fish on a mouse bait. One of my new plastic molds I made up has a mouse cavity, and I can't wait to try it for big trout and Dollies in the rivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Wow, great looking buzzer Celtic! Splash, One fall when I was in college I was working in Northern Idaho doing redd counts on Spring Chinook Salmon. When we were done with our work we would drive to Silver Creek (in a government rig, lol) which is just outside of Sun Valley. Anyway, the stream is a blue ribbon trout water, full of huge rainbows and browns, an anglers paradise. We would fly-fish until midnight each night throwing the biggest deer hair flies we could create. The fishing was always slow but when we got a take it was usually quite spectacular. On a typical night I would catch 3-6 fish all well over 18 inches and some in the mid-twenty inch range, lots of fun! I miss those days.

Big Splash Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Deer hair rules for big top water trout flies! Don't morn the old days, Jed, just bring those big deer hair patterns up to B.C., I know you wanna...and just a reminder, it'll soon be big salmon time in the south coastal rivers in B.C. too.

RiverMan Posted August 27, 2003 Report Share Posted August 27, 2003 I would love to do that splash. We have a good fall chinook run here but they are generally pretty dark by the time they get close to me. We focus on Steelhead from October through March, lots of fun. I am planning a trip to the coast for fall chinook in November, looking forward to that. Take care. jed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadlystreamer Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Damn nice Jim. I can see where they would be a good bait. I really like the first one. Nice job with the deer hair. Your friend has a knack for working with deer hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
