One of my first flies after mastering the basics was Mims' Box Canyon Stone creation. I have fond memories of those days and especially of the 6 lb. hen rainbow I caught on a Box Canyon Stone (which I tied) while fishing the Box Canyon stretch of the Henry's Fork that following year.
No, it never gets old...:-D
