Bumbly Mumbly

Post by kanutripr » Mon Feb 20, 2012 9:53 pm

I'm working on some early season ties for a small stream/beaver pond that I'm going to try for some brookies this spring. I like large soft hackles or very small streamers for these areas at that time of year and need to restock that box so here goes. :D

Thass right there good as it gets Vicki......it's stupid good. It actually exudes both British and American traits for my money. It's a frickin' outstanding fly/tye. Bout time you got back in the saddle........ya'll better shine your boots if ya wanna hang with the tripr. ;)
