I love that history.
Years ago I had a book by Lee Wulff or about him and his favorite flies.
He must have been a patient man on the river, or his released fish have lectured generations of Rainbow since then, because a lot of his flies just didint work well up in the Pacific NW streams.
Stream fishing is one of the most enjoyable struggles I ever engaged in.
Round slippery rocks, water so shallow a Peri
le couldnt survive, yet there's a Rainbow behind ever rock.
Amazing.
I am a real newbie to this fly tying. I've only had this Vise and stuff from the Uncle for a month or two, and its been winter to boot. When the chill sets in I feel more like Hibernating than fly-tying .
I have plenty of Chicken Feathers to practice that Hackle thing with.
Nobody ever said whether the Renegade would work on Crappie....or did I miss it.
