2011/2012 Shad and Crappie Fly Box

2011-1012 Shad Fly Box

 

I am adding this post 12/5/2013 because I found my original Shad and Crappie Derby fly box picture for the 2011/2012 season on my Facebook albums that I posted 12/10/2011 and wanted to archive it on our site. I take a picture of the fly box each year as I usually tie flies in December that I will end up fishing during the shad run in Jan-Feb and want to be able to look back at patterns used each year. While I did fish the run in the 2010/2011 season a couple of days, I did not catch a shad, and really had not developed a true understanding of what I needed to catch one. Looking at this box, I see the beginning of a transformation in patterns I tied and fished. Each year going forward I hope to take a picture and show the evolution of flies I tie and throw.
