fishin with the wrong imitation!
#7
Most of the fly patterns out there I don't think look like any thing I have seen in the rivers and lakes.

I think they all are attractor patterns.

So yah! Try mysis in your lakes and rivers.

But I would not think it worthwhile to have some one else tie up a bunch for you unless he just likes to try new things and does not charge much. The mysis shrimp are shrimps in size. But I can't help but think that in other colors they might

I don't think any of my favorite flies represent any thing I have seen in the water. Impressionistic is good way to say it.

I have heard is said many times that realistic imitations most of the time do not work well. Presumably because they are too stiff and hard.
