Pattern

Just curious: Is there someone out there having the pattern for the
"catalpa-worm"?
I recently discovered that (allthough this is a big, very well hidden and
mysterious secret) it must be an outstanding pattern. Seems it catches both
fish and fishermen. The few ones who join the secret are in some sort of
permanent state of exitement. Now I was thinking to tie the pattern for the
swap ... ;-) Now won´t that be a good newyearspresent from me: sharing such
a secret with you all?

doesn´t look very accurate though.

Here is the "worm" ; http://brotherhood-of-catfishermen.c.../66/917099.jpg
it is actually a moth caterpillar.

perhaps this is the pattern most suited for those anglers trapped in that
thread?

Weight the forward 1/3 of the hook with lead wire
Mold green Power Bait to the head area, over the lead, in a shape
reminiscent of a beadhead,
tie in thick yarn ( the proper sort was probably used as 'ribbon' on at
least one x-mas gift under your tree ) at the bend and just behind the
'bead' of Power Bait leaving a fairly long tail to wiggle in the currents





carry more Power Bait in your vest to replenish the fly as it wears out

Dang, this made me laugh. I hope it was supposed to be funny.

The artificial looks good enough to eat - call it what you like.

Just like you Scandinavian (I'm guessin' here) types to destroy an otherwise
civil and decent discussion concerning the virtues of correct spellin'. No
doubt you had nothing better to do than to stir the pot, while painting your
squaw's toenails? BSEG

Good to here from a ROFFian with a fine sense of humor. I was thinkin'
about ya just yesterday, as I was placing my collection of Fly Swap flies
into my new Fishpond chest and backpack--a year-end gift to myself, as that
jolly fat ******* never thinks to give me anything!

I didn't realized how many of your flies I had acquired, but I must have at
least 5--all of which are works of art, I must say!

Happy New Years ot you and your sir! And keep stirrin' the pot, PLEASE.

Ha! I'm guessin' that Hans' real name is Victor Borge, he is a Dane, and has
been departed for the last 7 years and 4 days!

Definitely Dutch though ...
And a very good 2008 for you too, along with lots of good flies and tight
lines!!

Good to know you're alive and well enough to tie flyz!

I wanted to get involved with this swap, but with classes beginnin' again on
the 18th of Jan., I know I won't have time to tie a decent entry--decent by
my standards and abilities, that is :~^ (

Op --now we need to find out if Herman Nijland is still alive and well?--
