Sounds like an afternoon you will remember for a long time. AJ was trying to catch a minnow with his hands because that was the most interesting thing there was to do at the moment. I remember my son collecting sweet gum balls when the fish quit biting fast enough to keep him interested. That was over 30 years ago.

Green weenies are great little flies, I tend to make mine a little longer than what most photos show, try it in hot pink also. I tied up a couple in red Saturday to try on trout, there was a guy who had caught and release over 40 trout using a red Creme brand plastic worm. I thought the shape was more like a green weenie than a San Juan worm.
