Tungsten Beads In Stock.

Tungsten Beads

Tungsten beads in the colors above are in stock and ready to ship.  Gold, Copper Nickel Black (gun metal), Nickel and Black are the colors.  The Hot Colors of tungsten beads are also in stock and ready to ship.  See the fly-shop page for more info on sizes and colors.  Once again we will be there with a booth at the Sow Bug Round up in March  The show begins on thursday the 18th and runs through the 20th.  I will also have some PRIMO AAA partridge skins that are large, fresh and ready to tie with.

Fishing UPDATE:  Friday…. Caught a bit of a rise friday morning and fished down to Tucker Shoals hitting blue hole, white hole, the narrows and tucker.  Fishing was good at the narrows with some small brown trout caught as well as some bows.  It was also good at tucker with some decent numbers on SJ Worms and eggs.  Amazingly after lunch the water levels were steady with NO fluctuation.  That seems to be rare anymore.  Today will be spent fishing from blue hole down past rainbow and into hurst hole and maybe johnson bar depending on the wind.  The lake level is just above the 654 level and is hanging out at 654.06 with generation scheduled for 150 MW or three units.  Of course the schedule for yesterday was wrong so I’m not counting on it being right for today but like a marine my motto is Improvise and adapt.  Sundays predicted generation schedule looks just like saturdays.  Mondays schedule looks even lower with 100 MW scheduled for most of the day except for spike in the morning and again in the evening.

Primo AAA partridge

As you can see from the picture it is twice as large as the regular partridge one gets and the price is only $36.00  I will also have the styro type indicators in round, tear drop, foot ball shape as well as the white palsa indicators.  You will like these prices so don’t forget to drop by and check it out.

Fishing on thursday was a challenge for sure and we had to work for every fish we landed.  I fished with Bob from Rogers Ar for a 1/2 day.  Bob was kind enough to bid on and win a trip I donated for the Reel Recovery retreats held here in Arkansas and as the successful bidder Bob and his wife stayed a night at the River Cliff Cabin.  Bob and I fished for the morning which was sunny and wind free.

Thanks to Bob for supporting Reel Recovery.  Help support the Reel Recovery program by donating time, money or other support.

Fly Shop News~Sow Bug~Fishing Report

Generation has begun again as of last wednesday with a weak one unit.  On thursday and friday generation was upped to a full 5 units and then  backed off to a weak 4 units.  Caddis are continuing to come off the water with the fish keying in on the larval or emerger stages.  Various san juan worms are working as well.
