I guess they should.   We will have to wait and see...  I am really enjoying tying dry flies, emergers, pupae and soft hackles.  It will be fun to see if any of them will catch a fish...[:)]



elephanthead -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/22/2008 9:08:04 AM)

Mixed blessings - grandkids coming in to town - it's the weekend of the Oil Creek Outing (no brainer) Don't look good for the fishing this year. So, that being said Eggy count me out. If I can make it (doubt it unless things change) I'll see you there.   Dave



beerman -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/22/2008 9:39:26 AM)

Dave,
Sorry you can't make the outing.



indsguiz -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/22/2008 9:48:18 AM)

Dave,
   Unless they are REALLY young, why not bring the grandkids along?  If you do I'll rig up a couple of extra rods for them.  I'm sure any 6 year old would like to use a Sage 9' 4wt. 



Skip16503 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/22/2008 9:51:03 AM)

I should have an extra rod or 2 also Dave if needed



elephanthead -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/22/2008 11:45:33 AM)

Their Mom (my daughter) would not be willing besides they're 1 1/2 and 3 months. Some things you have to do & that's one of em. I only see them about twice a year unfortunately. I'm hoping I can make a late run in the afternoon to the outing - no promises just gonna play it by ear or should I say diaper....If they head back early, it takes about 1 1/2 hrs to get there from my house and I'll be packed and ready if they leave early.  Hate to miss it, the last 2 years were a good time.   Dave

mgolf92 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/25/2008 8:52:40 PM)

I'm getting excited...What's everyone been tying?  I'll be going to get some supplies, most likely some stuff to tie elk/deer hair caddis, stimulators...What else should I be tying?

indsguiz -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/25/2008 11:29:10 PM)

Gentlemen,
    If I can make it up, and I sure hope so,  I'm going to be trying a funny looking, bright green bodied fly with grey wings that I found in a shop down here in KY.  Looks almost like a green bodied wasp.   My thinking is that it will be a little bit different.  Also, my grandson has tied me up a bunch of "special" patterns.  You know, "special", like in Special Oylmpics!  LOL !  Some of these flies ? ? ?   Bug!; never give a 12 year old with imagination a fly tying kit and tell him to experiment.



Bughawk -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/26/2008 8:48:02 AM)

indsguiz,

It is just a phase.  He will come around soon and start trying fairly "standard" flies.  I will have a few "special" flies for you to use.  [:)]

As for flies I have been working on, I have been having quite a lot of fun learning to tie dry flies.  The elk hair caddis seems to be a good choice from what I have heard, so I have some of them.  I even am tying some polywing caddis.  The other flies are polywing BWO in #18 and #20.  It was quite a challenge getting used to the tiny hooks.  I also have some small #16, #18 and #20 pale yellow and light gray winged dries.  I was going for a pale dun or sulfur... There are a few light cahills.  I like the look of the royal wulf, so I have some of those.  On the  nymph and emergers, I have a number of fairly generic caddis nymphs and emergers.  I have a few soft hackles to try. 

Basically, I am planning on having a wide variety of flies to try.  Of course, since I am totally clueless as to fishing Oil creek if I actually catch anything it will be most likely by mistake.



indsguiz -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/26/2008 11:17:16 AM)

Bug,
    I'll bring some chemical heating packs for the hand cramps you're going to have from switching flys so much!
If I change patterns more than three times it'll be too much.  And me the guy with 3,000 flies.  Guess I'll never run out.



mgolf92 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/26/2008 11:52:15 AM)

I've been doing some tan, brown, and green caddis dries and some basic caddis nymphs.  Also, some common attractor dries...wulffs, stimulators, humpys... 

Bug, sounds like you have it covered [:D]



jlh42581 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/26/2008 8:47:31 PM)

If anyone is interested I would be willing to bring my tying stuff and do a demo. Say like, an hour, during lunch time.



Bughawk -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/26/2008 9:47:26 PM)

That would be great.  I would love to see a demo.  Thanks.



BugDrifter -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/27/2008 10:06:28 AM)

Looking forward to seeing all you guys next Sunday. Looks like everybody is tying some good stuff. Unfortunately I havn't had the time to tie myself but I think the box should be full enough. Really want to give the new 3 wt a test run .

See you guys in a week.
Bug



mgolf92 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/27/2008 12:43:14 PM)

Jeremy- That sounds like a pretty good idea.  I don't know how many people would watch, but I would gladly sit for a while to learn a few new patterns...

BugDrifter- Speaking of three wts....I want to bring my 7'6" glass 3 wt., I can really throw some line with it, but anything more than a slight breeze ruins my cast.  Well i'll bring the 3 wt. along with the 5 wt....somebody can play around with the 3 if I'm not using it...



flyfishindave -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/27/2008 12:53:26 PM)

bugdrifter you better watch talking about fishing with a
3weight rod when it is not in your hands yet, they tell me
posession is 90% of the law just in case you are wondering.
LOL thought you would like to here that statement



jlh42581 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/27/2008 1:04:30 PM)

Ok, Ill bring my tying stuff. We'll just do it till people are sick of it. Or an hour, whichever comes first.

Hey dave, were you out on spring the other day, I think i beeped at you.



flyfishindave -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing (4/27/2008 3:20:13 PM)

Jeremy if you are driving a green S10 4 door yes that was me in front
of camp on the curve alonge the road & at camp the next day



T.T. -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/27/2008 4:59:46 PM)

Are there any gobies in Oil Creek??????



BugDrifter -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/27/2008 5:13:03 PM)

Dave, that's not fair, you probably even took it fishing. Looking forward to trying it out.
Won't be getting home from Philly till around midnight on Saturday. Not sure if I'm going to head straight up or catch a few hours sleep first. I can meet you at camp or ? if you like.

Jeremy , would like to check out some new pattern and variations.

Mgolf, Bringing along the 5wt as well. Dave just built me a 3wt RX7. Wanted to use a Dan craft blank but got a great deal on the RX7. Looking forward to meeting you.

Take care and see you guys soon.
Bug



mgolf92 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/27/2008 9:37:29 PM)

Bug, It'll be nice to meet...and I'm definatly bringing along the 5 wt.

See you guys in a few days...

Mike



Mikastorm -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 5:39:55 AM)

I,ll be for sure watching your demo. I ty like crap. Have caught a few on some ugly hairs ear that looked more like my cats fur ball.
Skip got ya some feathers yet. Forgot to give them to ya the last time we met. Who,s bringing the cherries? Burp.
Should I bring my 10ft. 6wt. ? Don,t have to cast far with it. lol.
Don,t know about the stuffed jalapenos. The ones I saw yesterday were nasty wilted. We,ll hope some fresh come in this week.
See ya all there.

D-nymph -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 11:30:35 AM)

I'm not going to make it, house project is just getting started and I'll be doing framing all weekend.  Thanks to my local pain-in-the-a$$ building inspector for dragging out my building permit application for 2 extra weeks.  If not for that the job would already be under roof.

Oh well, maybe next year.




Mikastorm -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 11:57:19 AM)

You,re going to miss a good time Don. Too bad.

Yea, I know.  I'm not too happy about it, but nothing I can do now. 

I'll be in touch.  My internet is back in full force now.




indsguiz -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 10:38:42 PM)

Gentlemen,
    If anybody is interested I'll be bringing up some bamboo rods, ranging from: cheap, to "don't even ask if you can cast it" ! All you will have to do is provide reels and line.  Most of the rods will be in the 3-4 wt area, and most of the rods will be unrestored or restored a long time ago and will show it; but I'll be willing to let you all try some of them out.  It would be unique to see a large group of men fishing with rods older than they are and maybe get a picture.  I might have a few reels with me, and maybe some with 75 year old line on them.  Won't that be a thrill?  Chore?  Pain in the A$$?



Skip16503 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 10:45:36 PM)

Bring em on Jack  I plan on using the one I got from you last fall

WOO HOO a line of Boo





Skip16503 -> RE: Annual Oil creek outing, gobies only (4/28/2008 10:46:32 PM)

Oh yea guys that were there last year  DON"T FORGET THE EGGY HATS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
