What Ray said! ...I don't know, between what Carl tied and what what William just put up, I'm torn. Either way, I'm a fan. Nicely done, gentlemen, nicely done.

Thanks Carl, now you have me combing some AL's Rug Yarn to make some more!
I never bought Lee's book on tying with poly but watched him tie several times. What size 16's &18's? I will make some for Ron as well, I hope to be over there next week.
Bill you are just in time for things to slow down on the Crooked... last two times out, things had really tapered off at the honey hole....But,, yesterday was one of those unreal days on the Metolius. I'll save the details until you get to town..Just a hint... all the fish were caught using Sventoski's 10" mono rig set up with a perdigon on the bottom and a small midge pupa on top....

Yeah, #16's and #18's. I twist the yarn well so that you get a ribbing effect.
