Re: Little Olives
DUBBN, we had some drizzle and rain over the weekend and since it looked like a BWO kinda day, I fished your little olive in 18 & 20's. The fish took the olives that had that short mylar bud more than the ones without it. I have a 4 day trip later this week and the forecast calls for showers and...

Re: Little Olives
Now there's a nice pair of twins in your net!
I plan to twist up a few of those patterns and might call them 101's

Re: My Flies
Bob, I have 5 or 6 of your flies that you sent me in 2020 and still use them to copy your patterns. I just went through a few of the Lee Wulff Chapter Newsletters and was impressed. Having served on a TU State Council for over 15 years, I've seen a few newsletters and yours are way up there. I hope ...

Re: Golden Brown
Mike, I have a mask very close to what Wayne has... and a few others with shades of red brookie stuff.
They were liquid sauces but my wife is done with me cooking on the stove.
Take those snowshoes you have up there... and urine from a bull.
It will stank like kidney stew but oh-so-good.

Re: Frank Sawyer's Nymphs

Re: Flymph - Light Fox / Hare’s Cheek
It is good to see another tyer that is not afraid to use "over-sized" hackle. When you use all the sweet spots on a cape, things can get crazy but those long sweepy fibers entice takes. I'm with DUBBN and look at those Scotch style patterns Theroe ties. Milk every feather from the skin. I...

Re: Flymph - Hen Pheasant
I strive for that buggy look when I know I'll be fishing riffles and pocket water.
That will have a lot of movement...I like it!
