Frank's hellgrammite

Frank...any chance of getting one or two more? I can send you something from
HK in exchange. :-)

If so here's the recipe

Dare I tell tell the fish to bite me?

I used grey schlappen for the hackle on that and the whole damn thing
was about 4 inches long. Sounds like a huge fly, but the smallies love
it. Its the only fly I use on the Potomac.
If you look at Harry Murrays pattern, he cuts off the tail straight. I
prefer tailing on this fly that has different lengths. Don't know why
it works better, but it does.
I tie some up for you Myron. When I'm done, I'll get your snail mail
addy.

Thanks, Frank! And I'll look around for some special little HK thing for
you. (Hopefully, she'll fit in the mail.)

Or the male will fit in her.
