I usually go to black first, but yesterday I tied on a #8 beadhead WB in cream with a wire rib which I rarely use, and for the first time in a looonnnng time I lost count of the smallies I caught in only 3 hours of fishing. It was a "one fly" day, although I had to tie it on a few times. The water was fairly clear, just under average flow.
I wish it was like that more often.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.
