I was glad to find the board hadn't disappeared all-together. What a relief!
Anyway, I used to post under the name Trout R Foragefish. I decided with a new board to use a new name (Joke's over son!).
Also, a job change has brought me to a new area. I now work in the veterinary clinic at the Houston Zoo. It appears to be a great area fo a WW flyfisher.
Lately I have been interested in tying Tom Nixon flies. Here is my rendition of a Calcasieu Pig Boat.
I enjoy using the Sili-Legs and variegated chenille on my 'Boats. So from the vise to the water the next day.
As much as I would like to move to the sticks in the near future. There are some solid urban options available. One of my favorites is within the shadow of Reliant Stadium and provides a number of chunky Texas bass. At another locale Mr. Nixons invention produces this little guy.
He was about 12" in slim but ok body condition. The missing eye was well-healed and he must of been able to hunt just fine. I tell everybody he saw the fly with his good side though! (haha)
Anyway glad to find the board again, Good to see everyone. I also think it's great that Tom Nixon's flies still live on and produce as well as they did almost 60 years ago. I am sure the are many other angler's that agree!
