Hey Ya’ll,
I’m working as the night-time watchman at a local ski mountain until guiding season starts back up here in Boone–so I have plenty of time on my hands, to say the least.

Adam –

You will need to embed using the tags here on the board, rather than the one supplied by YouTube.

Jay –

I’d suggest that for tailwater trout, you look into tying Trout Crack, a John Wilson pattern (there’s a video here in the Video section).

Thanks for the suggestions. Adam, I worked on a variation of the Stealth Bomber this past summer. It fished great in still water situations, but seemed to get rolled over easily and stuck beneath the surface in even moderate currents. I was tying 2mm foam over a Z-lon body, any suggestions to beef up the floatability would be welcomed. Zach, you’re right about the PT’s, I hammer fish year-round with ’em. I’ll give the Trout Crack a try, all the other suggestions are stand-bys I already tie and fish. Dave, unfortunately the only opportunity to gaze at snow bunnies is on my way back to the truck at 8 am. By the way, I can’t help but notice all the Atlanta and Marietta members on this board. I was born and raised just outside of the Marietta square, and would love to hook up with some of you Georgia boys if you’re ever in the Boone area. Look me up at http://www.foscoefishing.com

I haven’t experienced that, and i have fished it on the hooch and the flint a good bit. I would use a dropper though (bugger variation) and tie the stealth bombers bigger than average. Gamakasu 2/0 EWG hooks without the worm hump work well for a variety of species.
