Bout time to hit some morning pulses at Reliance!!!!! Gonna have to do some plannin though, Deadheadfred's National team is doing showcases at Auburn, UT and MTSU. Plus numerous tournaments. And of course her middle school ball started yesterday, so there goes Mon - Fri. The GOOD WIFE is gonna have to take over and give us some fishin time~!

So, what can you catch with crane flies?

[Paymaster]

Crane flies are worthless critters nothin eats them.

[TopWater94]

However, the great John Barr is faithful to the theory that cranefly larvae patterns do catch trout. Will tie some and post later alng with the other patterns I am reluctant to share with this fine group of "o ye of little faith in the cranefly" gentlemen

Come on man! Everyone knows that crane flies WILL NOT catch trout . They are worthless patterns to waste your time on, much less tie on the end of a line. If anyone wants to dispose of theirs in a humane manner, PM me and I'll give you my address to send them to! Thats my story, an I'm stickin to it!

You could not prove it by me one way or the other, or any fish at all for that matter. I keep getting skunked.

Wow! Pretty work!!
The Hooch is a great place to fish... when it's clear.
