Depends were your fishing, but overall low tide can be the best since it makes them move out of their hiding places that you may not be able to cast into .

Would a frog pattern be better than a mouse, or does the pattern not make as much difference as the presentation / popping / etc.

Also would a 8wt be too lightweight for snakehead? I don't have much need for a 10wt at this time...

These new hooks from Ahrex look promising for tying weedless flies.

Those do look like nice hooks. Got me thinking about some musky flies to tie on them.

@Fredrick see you’re using a power clip in a picture of a white popper on the first page? I’ve used them for surf fishing with spinning gear. Do they work well for fly fishing?

I use the 40lb one from harmony it’s lightweight and has worked great for me .
