BWO Offer

Those who are waiting for the BWO flies, hang in there! My regular job has my schedule all messed up and I've been putting in way too many hours. The flies are ready to go, I just haven't taken the time to package them and send them off. I'll throw in a bonus surprise fly(ies) for being so patient. I'll try to get them on their way this week. They should fish well even if the BWO's are not around.
Thanks!

Finally got a chance to use the O2 salmon flies on the Henry's yesterday . They are the bomb. Everything a great salmon fly pattern should be. They will not sink period. The are tough and the fish love them.

I will have to get a hold of you about getting a dozen before the hatch on the SF.

Robert said...: Since life is spinning in strange ways for me right now and I never sent the BWOs---I'm planning on sending some Twisted Hoppers in the packages. I'll throw in some 02 Stones too. Thanks for the patience.; June 3, 2009 at 3:34 PM

kolobflyfishing said...: Its same guy as kdiddyb, just new email. Hey thanks for sending the extras. I haven't received them yet, but I picked some of the tubing up today from Jasons inventory blowout. I got the last pack of stoneflies and grasshopper tubing. Thanks again for innovation in tying and generosity.; June 13, 2009 at 11:42 PM
Robert said...: All of the O2 Stone Adults went out to paying customers. In the package you will receive 4 chain-stitched BWOs, 2 size 12 Lime Twisted Hoppers, and 2 size 12 Tan O2 Hoppers. They went in the mail yesterday. If you still want some air-filled stone adults (three original participants) let me know and I'll see about getting some out to you. Thanks again for the patience.; June 16, 2009 at 11:39 AM
kolobflyfishing said...: got mine thanks so much. they all look great and can't wait to tie some up with my new tube material; June 18, 2009 at 11:08 PM
Robert said...: If you need a little help with tying instructions, you can link to flyanglersonline and do a search in the pattern archive for the O2 Stone Adult. I use a faom head instead of the bullet deer hair now.; June 19, 2009 at 8:03 AM

Fremont Island of Great Salt lake

Our Scout group took a trip out to Fremont Island in the Great Salt lake. Everyone rode a barge style boat with camping gear for an overnighter, except for two brave souls who paddled a canoe playing the parts of Kit Carson and John C. Fremont, the Islands name sake. The canoe ride was suppose to be 3 miles but ended up more like 7. We didn't take into consideration that we had to paddle most of the length of the Island to get to the camping site.

As part of the adventure, we hiked to the very top of the Island were Kit Carson carved a 7 inch cross into the rock on the summit. It was neat to think we were viewing a piece of history. The cross was carved (scatched) into the rock September 9, 1843.

All Day Long

I love to fish the Logan River. The scenery in the canyon is beautiful: clean clear water, pine , maple, willow, river birch and aspen stand as the forground to backdrops of cliffs, majestic mountain peaks and billowing white clouds against a blue sky. To me it doesn't get much better, anywhere!

I prefer to seek out the cutthroat trout found high in the headwaters and meadow sections of the river. Ocassionally, I fish down lower where a few more brown trout can be found. I can spent all day in the area, catching cutthroat like the one pictured.

Air-filled Flies

I've been messing around with a material that allows for the creation of air-filled fly bodies. This stonefly adult is created with the material. I've used this pattern for several years now and have had good success. It's been used in Montana and Idaho on the Madison and Henry's Fork.

The material is nothing more than heat shrink tubing. I have a way to imprint on it, thus creating the neat patttern on the bottom of the fly.

The material is available in several colors and diameters. To date, I have created stoneflies, hoppers, cicada and beetle patterns. Fun stuff!

"Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon the remembered earth. He ought to give himself up to a particular landscape in his experience; to look at it from as many angles as he can, to wonder upon it, to dwell upon it.

He ought to imagine that he touches it with his hands at every season and listens to the sounds that are made upon it.

He ought to imagine the creatures there and all the faintest motions of the wind. He ought to recollect the glare of the moon and the colors of the dawn and dusk."
