I'll be watching for them, Dan. I figured you must keel them somehow or other as I once tried using a spun deer hair underbody with a large mylar tube to make a fly rod version of my favorite floating rapala. I made the mistake of doing the whole thing and painting etc. before learning it floated on it's side.

[Danny Gober]

Wrapping lead around the curve of the hook is how you make dal. diver ride right side up.I didn't bother but it's should work. Plus sunfish floating on their side, look like cripples. Dan

Hooray! Bugman's flies arrived today. I had written them off as lost. Unfortunately the envelope was damaged and there was no stamped return envelope. Ivan, please p.m. me with your address. Your handwriting looks remarkably like mine which means I'm not certain of the return address. I've got to tie a few of those. Hex nymphs are popular for spring steelheading around here.

Dnny Gober's sunfish arrived today. They're even nicer than the picture. Probably too nice to fish until I can figure out how to do them myself. I'll have most of your flies in tommorow's mail but I still can't make out Bugman's street address for certain.
