Incidentally, it's a BRF pattern on which I changed the colors from what they sell. I note that on the website. That pic actually does have the waking post; it's just hiding in the hackle. I mostly tie it that way as a method of securing the post firmly, rather than to wake.

I didn't include it in the book because the only thing I changed is the color.

That bug has been working the past few days on the Yellowstone. Unfortunately, we no longer have a river. Major mudslide 8 miles north of Gardiner. I'm talking wiping out backyards and trashing a couple houses. The Yellowstone is going to be too filthy to float for at least several days.
