Those Minnehaha Creek mud marlins better watch out... I'm coming for them.

Killer Fly!

Ironically, looked up driftless flies cuz ill be taking a trip to Wisconsin at the end of the month, and of course root river rod co comes up again. You helped me catch my first big brown trout with you in march, gonna try some of these in summer! Cheers lance!

Man that’s awesome. Congratulations on breaking 50”!

This a a great work of art and I have been wanting to make one but wherever I look I can never find bamboo

What is the price and brand?

That's a gentle soul.

Is it 4 grand for just the rod or does it include the reel and line

pro tip. saved your money, a rod under a hundred bucks will do just the same

Dam 4k? Hope it doesn’t snap easily like traditional fly rod.

I bet I could still get skunked with it.

Tools not jewels

Sick!!!!!

If I ever win the lottery, I won’t tell anyone, but there will be signs...

Nice job Lance! And Ithought you were 1 dimensional streamer guy 😎

Ugh I’d be afraid/ that’s nice rod wow! Jealous!

That's what will get ya out of bed at 5am on a Saturday!! AMAZING fish, the size of a steelhead 😂

I've tied and used this fly for 30 years. Gary and his friends made years of observation using SCUBA to observe Caddis. If you are dead serious about learning about his tying methods and the reasons for them, I strongly suggest his book "Caddis Flies" be your guide. Follow his instructions exactly and do not try to "modify" it to what you think is a beautiful fly. I guarantee you if you take shortcuts you will likely catch few fish. I was able to obtain about 5 pounds of the special trilobal Antron directly from his daughter Heather many years ago. This is the only stuff I will use. I previously used Aunt Lydia's Sparkle Yarn without good results. Many yarns are labeled Antron but they are not the same as the vintage now discontinued Dazzleaire trilobal, uniquely highly refractive Antron. Again if you cannot follow his directions you will not be happy. This bubble MUST be tied sparsely with the correct Antron and MUST be 360 degrees around the hook shank. Think about this... the fish usually looks UP at the fly and what does he see? The underside of the fly! You must show the fish the Antron fibers under this fly and the long partially exposed straight dub on the shank. Further, Gary tied these on straight TMC 100 hooks. It is important and the reason why is critical. The book and his videotapes will explain WHY! Every word he wrote in his book has been very well thought about deeply and through personal scientific investigation/observations that no one else has really done.

Good gawd, a 20 minute Magnum Opus. Flagler can tie it in 6, and make more sense!

No closed season in MN? That’d be awesome.

How late did you stay out?

Very nice Lance

How do trail the zebra midge? Behind what?
