By that criterion, I must be fishing my nymphs superbly. Right now, I'm tying up some very small GRHEs. My next project is a bunch of Cricket Nymphs as featured in Winter 2010 Fly Tyer Magazine.

There is one more way to loose a fly "thebuckandahalfcast" that were you start your forward cast when your back cats hasn't gotten all the way back and you punch it forward and it sounds like a bull whip. You just spent A BUCK AND A HALF.

I missed the fall run for steelhead and hunting this season but I did get some flies tied up and have a bunch more to make. The following ties are not in order of importance.

Clouser Minnow
Black, white and olive woolly buggers
Woolly skulpin
Egg patterns (different colors and sucker)
Egg sucking leaches (bunny leach)
Bugs (ant, cricket, grass hopper)
San Won Worms

Man this list is getting longer the more I think about it......my own bait fish pattern.
I better start tying
