T...Alan, I couldnt agree more about small streams. There is one, I've fished it for probably 30-35 years (gulp), starting when I was a kid. But I've probably only caught 5 trout there in that time frame. It looks great, feels great, and is just awesome to be near... So I keep going, full well knowing I'm not going to catch a fish (or at least, that it would be really rare). Some spots just do it.<br /><br />That is a sweet little buggy fly - going to have to tie some of those up!Hibernationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06209232417170426487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-32971373663070192352021-04-29T08:20:08.979-04:002021-04-29T08:20:08.979-04:00Ned Zeppelin
