When I see those flies with hackle tied toward the middle I think of Vince Marinaro who advocated dry flies tied in that fashion. Some more nice rain today in these parts. I hope your area got some too.

My brother had a red button on a snap swivel that he was using to practice cast his spinning rod at home. When we got to the farm pond we were camping at he cast it in to stretch his line. A rock bass hit it and the swivel, which was not snapped shut, actually hooked it. We had a good laugh over that one. We spend all that money on lures and hooks and you can catch them with a button and a snap swivel.<br />JJBeaverdamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-37383823346897345632021-05-01T07:54:31.130-04:002021-05-01T07:54:31.130-04:00These flies are as attractive to the fish as they ...These flies are as attractive to the fish as they are to this fisherman.
