Work has been crazy busy for months. Seems like the weeks have been 80+ hrs forever with a lot of travel, too. So maybe we'll get back in the H-I saddle a bit more often here as my travel should start to slow down. ...and speaking of saddles, I had the opportunity to head out on one of my "two wheeled steeds" tonight and cast the flyrod a bit:  And a crazy quiz too for those that are interested: Where am I fishing? (hint, Johnson county) What brand of motorcycle am I riding? What weight flyrod was I casting? What fly was I using? (hint, the one in the pic) And for the tiebreaker, how many fish did I catch!? We'll go 5 points per correct answer except the tiebreaker and I'll tally up in a feew days. One thing is for sure, it was great to be out there!!! |

I can't answer any of the above questions, but it's good to see your still around.

I'll play:
Does look similar to my memory of the big lake at A'bury, so I'll concur with freedomhunter on the location.
Looks to be the right shape for a dual-sport style bike. I'd have to guess Honda just because they are well represented in that field.
I'll go with a 5 weight, that's about what I like for my home-tied rubber spiders about that size, and they seem to go well with take-down of about six or six and half feet, which would probably work with the bike.
Obvously a spider, I'm guessing rubber. Not familiar with the commercially available ones. I used mostly black w/gray legs, especially in evenings, but found the green color w/white legs to be better in daytime shadows or gray days.
I'll guess a dozen as the catch. Bluegills should be hitting the spiders pretty well in the evenings and the lighting in the shot suggests an evening trip.
Nice shot. Makes me want to abandon the yardwork this evening, toss the canoe on the Jeep, and dust off the flyrod in the garage. Been a while.

The *real* question:
How did you transport the rod while on the bike?

Hey, they can call it a moose if they want, a bug that big with eight legs, I'm calling it a spider. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.....8^)
BTW, have you ever waded some really small streams here in IN and flyfished them? Some of the most fun I had with my flyrod, especially in midsummer, was wading little streams and tossing a tiny sinking black ant pattern to the shady potholes. Lots of smallmouth, a little small for keeping, but they are scrappy tailwalkers.
36 fan, when I was riding, I used to carry a half dozen bungee cords in the daypack attached to my passenger seatback. Went many archery shoots with the compound strapped to one side and the quiver usually sticking up out of the pack with a bungee securing things. A few times I came home after some unexpected shopping with stuff hanging here and there everywhere secured by bungees. Looked like an Okie heading for CA, but I was having fun on two wheels instead of being in a cage. 8^)
