Bivisables and other palmered drys
In modern "match the hatch" dry fly fishing, this style of fly has gone the way of greenheart and the gut leader.
In a couple of old books I have recently read, the author not only assumed the reader used bivisables, but fished them more often than the winged flys we use today.
I have always carried a few and I remember days when they were just the thing.
As recently as this past weekend I caught a few trout on a bivisable.
I was wondering if anyone else still fished this very productive style of fly.
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
