Hi Gandolf,


Yes, I also think those foam spiders are ones you tied and sent to me.

My problem is that I'll be given a fly by someone and I'll stick it in my box, then forget who sent it to me. I can sometimes remember who tied it until the fish start biting, then poof! their name is gone. Usually by then the name of the fly escapes me, too. Throw in three moves in the last ten months (gear scattered everywhere) and it's a miracle I can find anything anymore, much less identify where it came from.

By any chance were you the guy who tied those Maribou Misses, too?

That was a lucky photo of that red ear sunfish. Isn't it great how low-angle morning and afternoon sunlight makes colors stand out? Shoot a photo of that same fish in the same pose at noon and it won't look anywhere near as pretty.

Any problems with your anchor rig, let me know; maybe we can brain storm a solution.
