    John, aren't there BWOs in your part of the country? Or do the fish just grab those FEBs any time of the year?

    God you all are good. Waking up to your thoughts about trout fishing and superb pictures of fish and flys is an exhilarating way to start my day. I am humbled and blessed to have FAOL in my life. Don't know you personally but I feel like I have known all of you forever. Someday I might have that privilege. Thanks ever so kindly. Have a smooth day and tight lines from Madison, Wisconsin. Michael J.

    This is a more sparse #18 Loop Wing.

    Scott, I seem to have lost your post with your flies. Could you please re-post - especially the first photo?
    Thanks

    Would appreciate seeing others post pics of their loop wing size 18's to give me more ideas.

    Not saying this is the best example, but I believe the sort of "swept back" nature of this style of a loop wing looks more natural than the straight upright patterns. Anyone agree? Anyone disagree?

    I agree....A CDC loop as in the LTD has the angled back profile as well.
