I call those late season itty bitties "pseudo klingons"
In late September there are hatches of BWO like things, but
they are so small the bigger fish often seem to ignore them.


Later on, say mid-October, when the real BWO hatch starts,
the fishing can be spectacular. But what seems to matter most
is the fisherman, and not so much the fly. My buddy John (aka Duke)
out-fishes me and everyone else 5-1. Somedays he uses little dry
flies. Some days itty beadheads. Some days softhackles.
John keeps his secrets pretty close to his fly box. But I think he
just changes flies until something works. But he has more than
that......some deep seated lazer beam juju emanating from the
lower brain stem seems to be involved.

The days I speak of usually have both types of flies around ... it may be
the "true" baetis that cause me to pull my hair, not sure ... and I've been
at Silver Creek when I was most humbled

deep seated juju is, sadly, not in my arsenal

I met a guy from Colorado that "claimed" to be getting a hit on "every cast"
during the period/activity that mostly eludes me ... wouldn't show me his
fly, or tell me what ingedients it contained, or what bug he felt it
suggested, he kept "his secrets pretty close to his fly box." but I
remember his name as Blaine not John G . Blaine did let slip, then seem
irritated with himself, that he was using #22 hooks. I never saw him on
the water, but I really, really, really, yes, really, doubt his "every cast"
claim G

Good to see ya posting Sandy. do you sell boat plans? I met another guy
and his son from Minnesota or Michigan up at the Missouri in Montana ( lot
of damn "m" states aren't there ) with a lovely drift boat he had built from
plans he got from "someone in the Boseman area" ..... I'm not a boat kinda
guy ( 'cept duckboats ) but it was a thing of beauty


I do sell boat plans (http://montana-riverboats.com) and I do live in
Bozeman.
Jason Cajune also sells plans and kits. Jason lives near Livingston.
He's a good friend and an amazing boat builder. So it could be him
too.
You won't find me saying any thing bad about Jason. He's a good
friend.
