[snip good stuff]

Except for size and species dispersion (no hexagenia in the Smokys) I use
the same flies in Michigan and Wisconsin as I do in TN, NC, and GA.

My experiences anyway.

So, care to share your pattern recipes? I'd be beholden to you.

All of them, are specific patterns? I don't think I tie anything *special*
except I am a clumsy oaf with my fingers and often use elk, moose, or deer
hairs instead of feathers for tail materials when the recipe calls for
sparce or split tails.

Ya know now that I think about it there was one year that the orange
did work better than the yellowish.....could it have been the
diet.......Maybe the flood stirred up something that changed the color
a bit.... of course I am just guessing only the sulfur knows for
sure......But the yellow worked better on fishing creek than the
orange right frankie stan jim and anyone else that went with me that
year.....
