Oh, what the heck. I just got back from Hobby Lobby with stuff to try the Crease Fly from the current issue of Fly Tyer magazine. I’ll be trying one of those. Size and color TBD.

I tie flies to give the fish something to laugh about.
<edit> Actually, since I now have read the full list, and someone else has a gurgler, I will tie something else. I’ll have to get back with ya on what though. . . </edit>

Jeff. I’ll go with something. TBD. Let me get through Christmas and I’ll post my fly. Actually there is a big difference between a Gurgle Pop and a Gartside Gurgler, so if no one is tying a Gurgle Pop I’ll do that one. I’ll lurk as you answer. JGW

Hey Rotund Youth G
I’ll be tying some of my “Jellybeans”.
They are topwater foam minnow imitations
with arctic fox tailing. Probably in a
number 8. Warm regards, Jim
I think I am gonna try some wasps like we been talking about in the fly tying forum. Then I’ll be ‘forced’ to get some tied up while they are fresh in my mind.
tying mode. Been pretty hectic around the
homestead for the last few months and a
few evenings of tying is what the doctor
ordered. Great bunch of folks signed
up too. I’m getting excited already.G
Warm regards, Jim
