Walt Cary has done it again, created two Fire Tiger Sliders and a Frog Slider. The cover of Fly Tyer magazine, Autumn 2011 issue, featured Walt’s original Fire Tiger Popper. See all of Walt Cary’s poppers and sliders at: www.BreamBugs.com
The BreamBugs technical staff had another successful trout fly fishing outing. Five of us caught a total of 69 pounds of Rainbow Trout in two days of fly fishing. Largest trout caught was 3.5 pounds. The most productive wet fly was our Marabou Skunk, Black and White, short streamer and the most productive dry fly was our Olive Hopper. If you have never been to the Rockbridge Rainbow Trout Ranch – – – plan a trip, you won’t regret it. See all our trout flies (and bluegill and bass flies, too) at: www.BreamBugs.com
At 6:00AM the air temp was 72 degrees and the sun was still behind the trees. Using a vintage 2 piece 7wt Eagle Claw Wright and McGill rod and a Bea’s Popper #15 hook size 8 I caught 35 bluegill and 4 nice bass before 8:00AM. Very little wear on the popper. Even with only one eye left it was still catching fish! What is your story? www.BreamBugs.com
