Chuck, the following is 2nd hand info. There used to be a bluegill guide in Northern Indiana who 'fly' fishes until the water freezes over. I guess you can call it fly fishing because he uses a fly rod. I say used to be because I heard about him 10 or so years ago. He may still be doing it.

Or, you can put the fly in a clear plastic box, which many tiny items come in and which you ordinarily throw away, then place it on the scanner. A bit of scotch tape or Plasti Tak will hold the hook point and keep the fly centered. Joyce On Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 3:46 PM, chuckalexan...@hughes.net
