So I wake up, and its dark out... go to work and leave and it's dark and cold out. Yep... winter time in New England. Which means we have at least 4-5 months before those big silver black striped beauties comes back ourways with some fresh lice, and an insatiable appetite.

So now I go home, turn on some itunes music, settle infront of the vice...

I have deceivers, Clousers, Ray's flies, rabbit zonker flies as tied by a local shop owner, up the wazoo.

My question is, and I hope this is the right forum, Any other New England striper guys tying up for the spring run? If so, can you suggest and or share any other patterns that you tie up?
