Okay folks, having never been to the Madison before, I'm tying flies that
I "think" will work from associated hatch charts.
One thing, I would like to tie for evening fishing. Is there any hatch in
the mid-July time frame that comes off consitently at dusk? I use some
glow-in-the-dark Krenick thread to make the flies easier to spot, but need
to know what flies will get this treatment.

Man, you are the luckiest sumbitch I have ever heard of. Here I've just
completed building the world's first fully automated, self-contained,
absolutely accurate, Madison River Fly Testing Lab and you (yes, *YOU*)
could be my first customer. Wait, what am I saying? Customer would imply
some form of payment from you and that is certainly not apprapos for my
first customer and a fellow ROFFian. Let me do this for you, Frank....the
bugs you want to tie are comparaduns, sizes 14, 16, and 18; colors from
medium/dark tan through the various shades of yellow (not too bright!!) and
on into the greenie/olive hues. Just pack up 14 of each (I'm trying to get
the darn machine calibrated a little better so as to only consume 12 flies,
but until then...) size and color combo and send them immediately to:

Ol' Danl's Instamatic Fly Testing Lab
Madison River Facility
Escondildo, CA, 92025

Allow 2-3 weeks for test results. Unfortunately, these test are of a
destructive nature, so the flies used for testing can not be returned to
you. I will provide a complete and accurate report for you detailing exactly
where on the Madison and when to use each fly pattern tested. Results are
guaranteed, so hurry and send your flies *today*!

Danl

PS the Lab reserves the right to duplicate, for the Lab's own use, and at
the Lab's expense, any fly patterns submitted for testing. So if you see me
with some familiar looking flies in MT, you'll know why....
