New Calico Patterns

Letting the super glue dry

Before trimming

The final product

And the result

I decided to sit down at the bench and get little bit more creative with a few of my Calico patterns. After a rather large beer I had few new color ideas pop into head. Not to mention I was drinking the perfect beer for the job. While tying I made sure double up on any areas that need some super glue and reinforcing. After a little bit of trimming I had three new color patterns, along with a couple of my favorites. I was so impatient to try them decided that now was as good as any time to try them out. So at 1 AM I headed out to the break wall with the Raja dog in along for the ride. After a few casts, and a perfect tide, I hooked a solid fish. After Battling the fish for a few minutes a 4 pound Calico came to my net. About 10 minutes later I had another fish slammed my fly. And another solid fish on and this one was 5 pounds. What a good night already. After 3 hours of fishing I had over 20 fish to hand and three of the fish where 4 pounds and above. All I can say is that both me and the pup slept good that night or should I say that morning.       

Calicos on the Wall

Please enjoy a little clip I put together a little while ago.

Lake Skinner has been pretty solid for the last few weeks with a few 4, 5 and even 6 pound fish to hand. Most of the fish are cruising the tule line getting ready to spawn. Throw Clouser Minnows, EP Shad flies and some Hare Jigs right up against the tules. Just make sure to cover a ton of water.

Back to back to back hook ups. Too bad one was a Mac but it was still fun.
