I have a few questions about muskie flies around here, so I figure I would put a handful of them up. Some have been posted in other threads on the forum, so you have seen them before. If anyone has any color suggestions, fire away.

I used to tie flies and no Jim, you would have to use weight ahead of them. Flies need to be very light so the line does the work. My dentist went with me several times and he instructed me in the ways of large flies. He cought that 45 on Osterhout using a 10 wt Loomis rod with a Tarpon Fly.
By the way these are all awesome flies. I wish Ron was healthy because he would love to fly fish with you guys. His back gave up the fight and he is now very limited in mobility. But at least he got Musky before it happened. That was my only guided Fly fishing fish. Mike

I'm just glad "scuba steve" made it in this thread.
I put that in just for you. We'll find a fish dumb enough to eat it.
Jim, maybe you can find an extra large casting bubble for throwing flies on gear. 😀
Thanks, Mike. A day of throwing and working big flies can certainly wear you out. Its too bad your friend can't do it anymore.

His name is Ron Lehman. He is retired dentist from Whitehall. He took care of my teeth for about 30 years. He has taken most everything salt and fresh water on Flies but was missing a musky until I took him out. His first day on Budd lake he had 4 follows on a mouse that he made. That thing pulsed like a popper. Second time on osterhout, windy and cold. We were ready to pack it in and on the last drift he put one right on top of a 45 and it smashed the fly in about 2 feet of water. The fish went air born and gave him the show he was looking for. Solid hooked in the corner with a pearl white and blue Tarpon fly. I think its in the reports pages way back in like 2004 or 2005. My greatest achievement guiding someone. Mike
A few recent ties.
