On the way to my garage to grab a bike to ride to church and this "pairing" caught my eye!

Grady,
Thanks. Happy to make them up for you. There are few things I enjoy more than tying flies.
BTW, better take that Gargoyle out of the package, as it looks like it bunched up during shipping.

Hope some of these work as well for you down in the D.R. as the one did on that bass!
Scott

So many talents Scott has, as these flies are gorgeous.

I was out yesterday. I tied one of these on and caught a 4 lb largemouth on the first cast.

Barely hit the water and bam!!!!! :)

Not too shabby.

Also, check out the special "Grady's Gargoyle."

I fish locally for muskies with my steelhead outfit and this "Gargoyle" looks like just the ticket for late season muskies.

Thanks again Scott. You're the best. :)

Just got home from a cruise up to Glacier Bay with my wife.

It's nearly impossible to take a bad photo up there

Wow, that is spectacular! :thumb: Definitely worth the investment to print and frame for your living room wall.

"It's nearly impossible to take a bad photo up there."

You're too modest, NorthBend.

That is spectacular.

Bon Jon 35's, very plush. I had 38's on my Weigle and can't tell the difference, 38's may be overkill.

I was thinking the same thing. When my 38's are done I may go down to 35's and get a bit more clearance. How do you like the ride of that one?

One of my favorites :thumb: Mostly short 20 mile rides, however a pure joy to ride...can't explain it.

the price makes the ride feel better, in my experience.

:lol:

my son trying to sell his BMX bike at Trexelertown. Stephen Bilenky was not impressed.

I can definitely feel the difference between 38s and 35 on tandem when I'm on cobbles/gravel. The 38s are MUCH appreciated. Of course I'm using 35s right now :(

If the 35s you're using are the Vittoria Hyper Randos you might not notice unless moving up within brand; the 35s measured near 38 on my bike anyway.

Good eye, Sir_Name. I probably would have brushed that off there and shot the whole bike against a background. But sometimes the magic is in the details... :thumb:

Thanks for all the great photos folks!
This thread, along with "Where Did You Ride Today?", are my inspiration.

Thanks, I noticed that after dropping it in the basement to dry things off. Neat the way it settled on the lines of the fork.

^Nice work, Jim.
