Zach — we have a surprising amount of aquatic worms around here in the West and the fish do definitely notice them. I started catching a lot more fish on some rivers when I finally started fishing them.
That is a beautiful fly box. I keep my worms in a plastic film canister.
That corn fly has park pond carp (or ducks) written all over it.
They had the choice between a nymph and garden hackle. Who am I to judge?
Tell me more about your gentleman’s worm… You can never have too many flavors of worm in our region. Do you have a good corn kernel pattern, too?
haha. good call on the red SJW, Lando. they ate a bwo emerger on Saturday, too. it was easy 2:1 on the red SJW, though.
I’ve never actually done it, but I’ve had friends tell me you can put them in the oven for 10-20 hours at as low as your oven will go. The trick is to make sure that they don’t burn or brown on you. Turn them often if necessary, rotate them out of hotspots, etc. I figured this year I’d try it since I have so many left over.
When it’s still hot out a lot of people will do them in their cars. Just lay them out on the dashboard or in the back window. Make sure to put them on a tray and put cheesecloth or something over the top of them and they’ll be ready in no time.
Or I could just go find a cheap dehydrator, but what’s the fun in that? 🙂
2 nights ago I picked 2 bags worth of tomatoes and filled up another bag with basil just in time for it to get down into the 20’s. This week I’ll be putting together a large batch of pesto for the freezer. After that I’ve got several pounds of tomatoes to get ripened so that I can make sun dried tomatoes (also destined for the freezer) in my oven.
so aside from my obvious issues with others i’ll remember an awesome time with a lot of new friends and getting the oars wet with my bro. a phenomenal season that ain’t quite done yet!
