If you've given up on Claves, then the chances of us getting together
is slim (unless you come to CO) because virtually all the fishing I do
out of State is at Claves or informal get togethers with people I've
met at Claves.
There are people from time to time who attend Claves from a distance.

could cover with a good drift and a good "float" took ... but getting
a float that lasted more than a single fish or even a few casts
without one is something I never achieved .... exactly the kind of
challenge that drives one both nuts and back the vise, over and over

I don't understand, if every fish took, why are you looking for a
better fly?


I think they tend to be one fish flys i.e. don't sit in the film after
sliming or several drifts. It doesn't parse well though ... but otoh
at least it on topic
