I might even be able to tie it.

Why would anybody be interested in what a nasty evil little ****bag
like you has to say?

MC

Thanks for the kind words.
Why don't you ask them if your really interested?
MDK77 made a valuable informative post. I'll tie some of them up and
take them to the Bow next August.

No he didn´t, he asked a question, to which you do not know the
answer. You are a nasty ignorant little ****bag, who will stoop to
anythign at all to upset others. I am merely here to keep reminding
you, and others, of it.

Thanks again for the thoughtfullness. I answered his question with a
question and a link. The link was to page on Madam X.
How do you think they will work on the Bow?

I don´t know, and I don´t care, as noted, I am merely making sure that
people know you are a nasty evil little ****bag. What you have to say
is quite irrrelevant to me.

Likewise, but I don't have to let people know it, your doing a
wonderful job of it.

What people may or may not think of me is irrelevant to me. It is
however important to me that they know you are a nasty ignorant

It bothers me not. I feel the same way about him as some homeless bum
begging on the on-ramp.
The cause of his problems are not you, me or Kenny, he can find him in
the bathroom mirror. I hold him no ill will, just pitty.
If I wished him ill and were Gradalf armed with a majic staff able to
transform him into any creature. The worst thing of all I could do to
him would be to leave him Mike Connor.

I live about 120 miles south of Calgary. I don't fish the Bow much, but
last time I was there were used a pattern called Whitlock Hopper which
was a more natural imitation of the hoppers. The explanation was that
the fish see a lot of flies, and go more for the naturals. This was some
time ago. The Whitlock hopper can be seen at

Less heavily fished streams in southern Alberta and southeastern BC are
where I have used the Madam X, and it worked well.

That was a great link. I especially like the "how to fish" info.
That would apply to any hopper pattern. I really liked the tip on
casting into a bank and letting it bounce into the river. I'll bet
that would be pretty effective. I'll copy and paste that info here in
case it would be helpful for other newbies like me:

"How to Fish
Dress the fly with floatant and use standard dry fly presentations. On
small streams, you can fish a hopper anywhere in the river, but on
larger flows you will do best to present the fly right next to the
bank. On larger rivers, the best places to cast are along the margins,
no more than 15 feet from the bank, and often only inches from the
bank. Unless you're fishing from a boat, you may find it works best to
wade into the river and cast back to the bank.

One effective tactic is to cast so the fly hits shoreside grass, then
lands in the river with a distinct plop. This mimics the natural
insect. To further imitate natural behavior, give the fly an
occasional twitch as it drifts."
