great story, it goes to show that you gotta fish when you can because you'll find a way if you are diligent. The pay back is priceless. If it is not 'fish on' it will be something more memorable than cutting grass or TV.

Love those old favorites even in the face of all of the "creations de jur" we see everywhere. HEN, WB, simple midges, PTN, AL's "too simple" flies ... it's fun to create but I wonder why we spend so much effort to re-invent the wheel sometimes. A fly that looks like many things in their water and PRESENTED correctly is probably the best bet anyday.
