Anyone have a favorite dandelion pattern that they are willing to pass on to
me. I'm looking for a photo, formula, and url if possible.

I have not fished the fly but it appears to me to be a bit odd to tye
in at the hook eye. I would think a loop of sorts at the parachute
titp top would be a better place.

I don't know why, but for some reason this thread reminded
me of trying fish with a dry fly in the sierra streams when
the cottonwoods were in bloom. With that fluff floating on
the water no trout would even look at my fly.

I thought he was planning to try to catch a grass carp. Either that or some
strange kind of fish that might be found in a pond near the museum that has all
the paintings by Salvador Dali.

That's the one! The striking fish with the blue furry fins! But for some
reason, every time I get close to the pond, my perspective changes and my
watch hands bend.

Shoulda found a lake with some carp. They're alot of fun when they're
eating cottonwood fluff.

Matter of fact, if you tie a lump of white thread in the upper third of the
hook and then, between that and the eye, put in a few wraps of white CDC,
you have a great cottonwood seed pattern. Used it to great effect in
Nebraska. Carp love it.

Seeing those big pigs suck in a fly is a kick!

Realizing at that same moment that your rod is designed for 10" brookies,
not 45 lb freshwater tarpon.... Priceless.
