completely spaced this one out. I’ll tie them tonight and have them off tomorrow (December 28). Thanks for the reminder. JGW
Hare n’ coppers on the way. BTW, although this was originally a trout fly I picked up in NZ, I have adapted it to bluegill fishing. Trout folks may wish to trim the tail to make it more trout like, or whatever you do to make your flies real special. It’s a very effective warmwater nymph and I’ve even caught a lot of crappie on them. New Zealanders rave about it over there as one of their favorites for trout so I’m assuming it’ll make you smile, too. Hope so. I’m express mailing them to you, Pieter. JGW

Sorry about leaving you hanging, I’ve been very busy combined with the fact that my machine with my faol password has been seriously crashed lately. Anyways, you should get the flies any time now, I express mailed them last week.
Happy New Year,
ADAMHRY
