    Very cool, Leonard. Can I have an autograph so I can say I knew you when? Congratulations, my friend. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving FAOLer.

    Looks like a pretty nifty pattern. Congrats!
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    Well done Leonard! Congrats.

    I fished this fly with Leonard in late June 2007. He had been working on it for a short while before I saw it.

    I was in Branson for some classes on protective relays. He came over to the place on Taneycomo (Lilley's Landing) and brought some tying stuff with him. We grilled up some grub and he showed me some flies he had been working on. The PMS was one of them.

    The next evening we met up and fished Taney at night. We caught plenty of fish that evening. But the big fish of the night was a dandy brown that Leonard took on the PMS.

    The fish do seem to like that fly. I've heard talk about it in southern MO and Arkansas.

    Keep up the good work, Leonard!

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone..

    Ive also been told that they want more patterns and some different flies..
    So for sure they will be more to come!



    **PS**
    Not to get my head to far into the clouds.
    But Rainys is looking at the Hibernator and they really like it
