Crazy Charlie Day???


Today, I manged some time on my vise and whipped out 14 similar crazy charlie on size 6 stainless steel hooks. The body material came up short after number 14 and I guess I need to go down to Coho to stock up some more. This pattern has proven pretty effective for most fish locally. Peacock bass, zebras, tomans, jaguars, mayans, luohans are some freshwater fish that would not hestitate to grab it. Maybe it is because of it organic wing, calf tail. Somehow, white calf tail proves to be much more effective than white polarfibre at night. I never leave home without one of these in my fly box. Posted by Picasa

Today, after the heavy downpour, I had a little window for fishing. I was in luck! I met a group of toman fries and had some fun with them. All were caught and released. Posted by Picasa

This jaguar is the biggest that I have ever caught and apparently, it fought pretty well at night. Too bad, I was using my Scott STS 6wt targeting larger fish and it came for my crazy charlie. Posted by Picasa

This captured pacu weighs almost 6.5lbs on the boga.

This David Neo's peacock bass is one of the many caught today. It measures about 19" and weight unknown as I didnt have my boga grip with me when I took this shot. This is the biggest peacock bass landed for the day too. Posted by Picasa

This is David Neo's 9lbs keli caught with his newest toy. This 'toy' of his is 'poisonous'!!! After trying out this new rod, kokliang and I really feel like going down to Coho Fishing Tackle to get one for ourselves. Posted by Picasa

My first ever keli, 6lbs on the boga. I caught another one but the fish went into a drain and cut me off! I was using a Tica Cetus on my 2wt fly rod. It is really fun! Posted by Picasa
