Not really much new. I've been working a little white antron in to a lot of patterns, like as a small splaying ball on the prince, etc. How about you? As I look on the index card I have on the desk I stuck up after my last trip it said: 1) Sm #16-#18 grey wulff's 2) Bead heads of all flavors 3) Copper J's So, I think that's the "need to tie" list. The "want to tie" list has me thinking on some classic wet flies. Iron blue dun's, Leadwing Coachman, Cahill's and the like. I hope Rusty sees this and posts some of his emerger patterns as well.

I used to say that I did not have the time and that I would rather be playing music w my time but the truth is My eyesight was never great and with age it has gotten worse. I used to tie 00 and 02 flies for stripers when we lived in NH. Now... I can't even see to tie on #14's - barely.. I try to take one of my young minions w me to help Fred Not sure where you fish now but a big brown trout will take one of those #2 streamers. Your pal, Tim |

For about 75% of my fishing this season I fished a dry caddis with a soft hackle dropper. Caddis Body: yellowish dubbing Wing: light elk tied slightly longer than a EHC Hackle: heavily hackled either with Cree or Brown and Grizzly mix Soft hackle Body: red wire Abdomen: peacock Hackle: partridge Versatile combination. You can fish it dead drift, swing it or (my favorite) bounce the dry across the surface with the soft hackle trailing behind. PS I did find a small piece of the "better" foam you talk about in a package I got. It is black and it makes a killer beetle imitation. http://crystalglen.net/Fishing/IMGP1932%20(Medium).JPG You can see the beetle in the corner of this fishes mouth. Willi |

I've been telling people about skittering dries for years (not that I invented it or anything), but with all the emphasis on dead drifting, most people are skeptical. It doesn't always work but it frequently will bring fish to the surface that wouldn't come up to a dead drifted fly. It's also the most fun technique I know with the types of strikes it generates.

Tim Lysyk Yeah brain fart, peacock thorax, wire abdomen I use ultra wire size BR for size 18 to 14 I usually use the gray speckled white feathers from the partridge. Kind of a royal coachman color combo. http://crystalglen.net/Fishing/RedwireSH.jpg Willi |
