good stuff snipped

all this stuff about Harry's caddis, coupled with vision issues, got me to
thinking(always dangerous): have you tried small wets in the film? I can
think of a pattern that has worked very well for me as a caddis imitator.
Send me a note, specifying colors(I know we're talking smallish size), and
I'll send you some samples at some point over the winter.

When I was a boy (man, that was waaaaay long ago) we fished with dries,
wets, and streamers. Nymphs were something new, and anything *real*
small just wasn't available. I have fished wets in the film, without
weight and with a floating line. At times they are effective. Any
pattern you have tied for Penns shoul be good in Maine.

Harry's Killer Caddis is with a tan body, peacock herl at the thorax
and tan cdc wings.
