55 on the fly

Hi folks - I'm happy to share a recently turned Persimmon Trumpet Turkey Call with .410 brass and a Delrin mouthpiece. She's up for sale at $97 delivered in the USA. You can purchase it here on my web site: http://drkorn55.wix.com/dougkornsworkshop#!turkey-calls/b0vvn

Just in time for turkey season I recently knocked out this Cherry Trumpet, .410 shell casing, buffalo horn mouth piece and lanyard slide.

Hi folks - it's been a while since I posted a fly. But today, after tying up a bunch of flies for Parks Fly Shop, I had some time to tie a few Apple Caddis for my local waters. This fly is especally good on the West Branch of the Delaware River where these flies hatch in abundance. See my "Korn's Spruce Moth" video on YouTube for tying and fishing instructions, then just switch up the materials for the caddis on your streams. Materials list: #14 & 16 Dry Fly Hooks (this is a #16) Olive thread Butt section: Chartreuse GSS dubbing Mid/Thorax section: Tan dubbing Wings: Two Pheasant wing feathers, stacked and then folded back over for the head. Legs: Red Fox Squirrel dubbing

What a day! I took this big male coyote at 7:30 ..... and this fine buck in the afternoon...

I hit the West Branch of the Delaware River again today, same spot as Thursday, but different game plan and different results. Water was still very cold at 46 degrees this morning so nymphing was the order of the day. Fished till noon. Hooked three and of course lost the "big one" a good brown of 20 inch range. He made three runs and I had him on for 10 minutes or so. I could't do anything with him in the current. I had him to the leader once and then he just bolted and ran way down river with me trying to follow in cold deep water up to my boys….. Needless to say I couldn't stay with him and he broke off with the point fly…. Bummer, but what fun…. that fish got me going for sure…. a couple of photos below….. Doug.

Hey folks, I've been in the shop doing some turning. Knocked out this trumpet of 100 year old oak, copper ferrule, Delrin mouth piece and bead on the lanyard... This one is a gift for a new friend and fellow turkey hunter and call maker. Thanks all for giving it a look, Doug.

from my workshop comes this Model DKT-1 in Ebony, faux ivory spacer, copper ferrule and Delrin mouth piece. This one is sold and headed for GA... thanks for looking....
