Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

1/80th oz microjig patterns are killer freshwater lures. I have a friend (his blog) who’s seemingly caught every fish possible on them.
 
3 straight days of fishing lined up with a good buddy beginning tomorrow, two days float fishing. Haven’t done that in a long time! Looking forward to it. Rivers will be cold but hoping to dredge a few up. Fishing one river I’ve never fished but I’ve heard good things.

I'm hoping to post a picture of something a little different this month. I need luck on my side to score.
But I'm not saying much else.😁
Spring is around the corner and opportunity only expands.
 
Rob’s silly fly-jig picked up some more rainbows, and a small walleye jumped in a silver version. I did modify it a little by using a mono loop to pull a flashabou tail through.

Yes, I really do prefer to use a fly reel for the larger trout on ice as I can palm the drag and get better control.

Better thread to post this.
I have a few rods to part with if anybody is interested.
1) Sage VXP 690-4b20240227_082600.jpg
This rod is a custom...so a Sage blank finished by a rod maker. Mint condition, I've used it a couple of times, but mostly had it for a backup. $250 plus shipping.
2) Echo Ion XL 7100-4pc $100 plus shipping
3) Echo Ion 6100- 4pc $85 plus shipping.

Pic of the Sage. Happy to post pics of the others if any interest.
