Seriously Jim, If I cast the thing anywhere near a gill he bit it. The little guys just the tail. If I just let it lie, some would smack it like it was filet mignon, others would bump it appearantly to see if it was still alive, if I stripped it a little bit, wham!
If I twitched it the water would boil, the fly disappear and my line would take off.

I beleive that I have just found a new Go To fly!

My 3 year old son, by the way, loves helping daddy make them. I am having a hard time getting any to "decorate" because Sam is having so much fun making them multicolored!
