Vlap,

Where ya live? You can email me personally if you wish. Tell me what you are after and I'll tie you a few and send them to you. Can always use some word of mouth.

As for poppers, I hate tyin' them bastards but since I was a little kid I have always used what my dad called a glow bug I think. It's a white popper, rubber band legs and black hair over the hook. They do glow in the dark too.

Let me know.

Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.

I've been using my "Joe's special" like the chartruse one I gave you a while back.  As the others have said a Dahlburg diver type fly works wonders.  I've caught a few good size (6.4, 6.8 and 7.4 pounders) bass in the ponds around my area.

A 5wt won't cast it as far as the 8wt but then again, you don't need much more then 20-30 feet.

Good luck

Joe

I swear to God and on the bible. I have been an artist since 1989 and have had people try to con me, chew me down on price or whatever to get free stuff which they never do if they ask but I give tons of work to charity and friends. I have been tying flies for about as long and have never offered to send anyone some for free and them not jump on it. I don't know if I should get my feelings hurt or show much respect for the offer not being accepted when I made it months ago. WOW. Anyways, Sorry I have not been around much lately but Montana was calling and I had to answer but I am back so clear some space for my wordy answers.

shhhhhh, don't tell anyone about this. The Accardo Spook is a little popping bug that you can normally find at Walmart for around a buck eighty-five. I fish it on a four or five weight with a WFF line. Let the little bug sit still until the ring where you cast it gets to around three feet in diameter, then just give it a little twitch.

I fish 'em out behind the house and bass, gills, shellcrackers and speckled perch love 'em. Just don't tell anyone I said so.
