Guys and Gals-
Thanks for your input on this matter. I cracked up at your "masochistic" comment....it really must be a bugger to tie. I'm neither an elitist or traditionalist and don't really care about the presentation or color of the fly, it's just nice to have a little variety. But there is one thing I do believe, and that is when you strip that mite back upstream towards you and that horse-hair colar pulsates, it's drives the browns crazy. Having said that, there is also something about the nostalgia of it since that is what I caught my first fish on over 30 years ago. It also is a great pattern for my kids to use behind a bubble.
TD, I would love to see some of your ideas. I'll ring you after the 4th. Hopefully baseball will be over by then.
Regards,
gaetz
