I bought one of those River Road Creations beavertail foam cutters, and some sheets of foam from Michael's.

Image


Took them to a retention pond. Made a small cast, began stripping out line, and the fly disappears in a boil. I miss the fish. This happened quite a few more times. I couldn't get it to stick.

Finally, this little guy inhales it.

Image

More misses and more frustration, so I head over to the cichlid spot. Make one short cast to the bushes, and immediately a wake pushes behind the fly. This guy doesn't miss.

Image

I smile. It's the first cichlid on the newly build Revelation 2wt.. And the first on top.

That was it for the day. But, I'm not complaining!

That must've been fun on a 2wt! Really need to head down south to get in on some of that action, don't know why I haven't seeing as I have family in florida.

Really digging that tie, cutting foam patterns other than a rectangle or triangle can be such a chore, I may have to consider investing in a few foam cutters myself.

Nice, good to see a return on the investment.
