Warmwater midges, scuds and nymphs

Thanks Jim, It's already in the 'favorites' pile. Going to be a busy winter..

Gotta laugh.. When I was guiding turkey hunters my favorite saying was, "Shoot, Ray Charles could kill a turkey in Iowa."

Ahh, you fixed it. I knew it would be good so I had already Googled and stuck it in my favorites. Thanks again, Jim. You (and many others) are blessing to those of us who 'Know Nothing' bt are willing to learn.

Sorry Hide Hunter,

I had the last posting up and down like
a yoyo. My danged pewter kept acting up.
I'll leave it alone now.*G* I've fished the
Ray Charles and had a chance to discuss the
pattern with Al before he left us. It's a
very effective fly on many waters. Good
luck buddy. Be sure to check out all of the
"Too Simple" series Al left us. They are a
great confidence booster for folks just
getting into tying. Warm regards, Jim

Jim - Redears have been taking a coupla different flies; a few on foam spiders, a few on a little foam grasshopper I worked up [size 12 on both] and by far mainly on a #10 CORK popper with rubber legs. I tried foam poppers that I'd made up but they want that "plop" when it lands. Colours - white, yellow, and chart. I just keep shifting them around - when one colour slows just change it. When I started using the epoxy ant dropper I up-sized the popper to a #8 to better support the dropper and I did land a couple of fish on that size; most, however, just pushed the larger popper around.

I just watched the "late weather gal's" forecast and she called for "possible snow Monday"! Yuk! Last Tuesday it was 74d.

give you a site where you can check "My"
