Anyone catch that show on OLN this morning about the guy sight fishing the ski's on the fly? Wow was that cool, he got two upper 40's fish if not 50 in class. Really a cool show!

Larry Dahlberg does a great job! He and John Goplin were really
instrumental in helping my wife and me become flyfishers. They both
were working at the Burger Brothers at 43rd and France. Amazing skill
and technical support from that small shop.

That first hit right next to the boat was AWESOME to watch.

It was an older show, but man it was fun to watch...and the little bits of humor in there as well, like his wife with the cigar at the end of the show...

This was definitely a day to watch muskies.

Fly fishing for muskies is a rush to say the least. There is something about it that makes me feel in tune with the muskie. I have an 8wt Orvis clearwater that can handle most fish. I love to throw big streamers with tons of tinsel. Up North I catch alot more pike than muskies, but it is still a blast. I look foward to the shad spawn on Kinkaid this spring. I hope to hook a biggn' in the weeds on a fly this year.

I watched it too, and boy would that be fun. It would definately be a good spring tactic sight fishing them in the shallows.
