I used to have a Crown on the rocks while tying but started to notice my flies looked nothing like the pictures of what I was going after so I stopped the Crown on the rocks and went to beer and noticed the same thing that the flies looked nothing like the pictures! started drinking straight coke and dang-it the flies still don't look like the picture so I think I'm going back to Crown I came up with some of my better patterns

I like to munch on cheese, crackers, and summer sausage and have found that oils from the cheese and summer sausage make dubbing much eaiser with the synthetic materials plus I think the trout like the flavor of the cheese oils LMAO I did figure out that when using marabou keep your food items high and away from the vice! that stuff floats around and gets into everything and well the taste is not that great. Later,
