No effect here. We are on the Missouri border on I-35. Flooding is on each side of the state on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Rick

My fishing partner landed 4 but caught 3 more that had an early release. All rainbows. The week before I only caught 2 or 3 and lost several more. But my partner landed 5, and lost several more. Found out that the dropper that was tied onto the bend of the hook was causing the quick release. I am now tying the dropper to the eye of the lead hook. Read an article in a fly fishing book talking about using a clear seed bead, and a tippet ring. Tie both on the tippet ring but one shorter then the other and it eliminates the hooks getting fouled together. Will try this as soon as I can find the two sizes of tippet rings I have. ( the mind is a terrible thing to loose). Will be going out next Tuesday. I will be fishing for Largemouth Bass as well as Trout. Sent from my iPad Thank You,Alan Di SommaMesa, Az.

Just returned from a trip to Korea and Japan. South Korea stocked bass and bluegills years ago and they have flourished in many of their lakes and rivers. I keep a fly rod at my daughter's house for visits like this. Got out a couple of times (bass pic)Back Home Again in Indiana it has been mostly pond fishing for bluegills and the occasional bass. The rivers are starting to go down and may be fishable soon if we don't get more rain.

Tying is slow, I'm too busy with family duties - family grows like crazy, 4 grandchildren so far and 3 to surface until end of year. I was out only once a week ago, with my oldest grandchild - thze boy is 3. So, we had some fun, did catch one small fish, and missed a 2nd one. The 'productive' pattern was my blue parachute beetle. I did ty this one at the sowbug. I hope, you folks had more time for fishing Best Rene On 06/17/2019 06:28 AM, Gary Webb wrote: Fishing reports? New patterns you are tying? Fishing here has not been too good. We have had so much rain that the Mississippi by La Crosse, Wi just lifted the No Wake regulations that have been in place for a record 90 days. Previous record was 46. The trout streams are running a four times normal flow. That seems to have caused the hatches to be off schedule. Panfish spawning is affected too. I have managed to catch a few fish. But nothing is happening at the normal times. Part of the challenge, I guess. A new (to me) fly I've tied is: Grillo's Hippie Stomper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4rilByk4hU . it was created for trout, but I know it works for Bass. My son in law has a pond behind his back yard and has just started fly fishing. i gave him two and he caught a nice three pound Smallmouth on one. Probably will work for Panfish too. Tuesday I'm scheduled to take two of my grandsons fishing. We will go to a local pond and try for Bluegills. Normally this would be a guaranteed success. But you never know. The last time I took them they wandered around the pond trying to catch frogs. They had a great time. Which is the whole point. I remember doing the same for crawdads when I was a kid in West Virginia. Gary -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
