2 "New" Patterns for Colorado!! |
Lead | |
|
After seeing these 2 great patterns in a magazine, I couldn't help myself, but to tie up a few, to take with me to Colorado!!! The first one is called a JC
Special, I guess named after some dude named JC?? Anyway, neat fly!!! It's like a caddis, tied parachute style, with legs!!! Ought to be a killer, on those
little creeks. Not very big, should float well, during turbid waters, and most importantly, durable!!

Amy is quickly becoming a very popular girl in Colorado. Everyone seems to want her. She is very accomodating. I lost Amy today to a large Rainbow....I take
the blame. The union twixt tippet and Amy was fragile. She comes in black, as well.
The rivers are still raging from late runoff and lots of rain. When are you coming to the Centennial State, and where are you fishing? I hope runoff abates by then. If you need any advise on where to go, stay or eat, mine is free, and has absolutely no warranty! nice job on the flies wacokid54 |

Hi Russell;
Nice ties, what size did you tie them in? Also, it looks like the hair wing must add to visibility, has that proven so for you? Wayne |

Russell, nice ties! Amy's Ant is very popular in Colorado right now.
Catch and Release fishing is a lot like golf. You don't have to eat the ball to have a good time. |
