Re: [VFB] Small-mouth flies? TakenAlan,
Also try the short extended body caddis. Just use a scud hook and furl the
abdomen about the same length as if it were on a hook. It's softer and
'wiggly' when a fish bites it, so it'll hold on longer. Use mono and it will
be durable. Let me know how

Good. Someone has faster fingers than me!
I'm going to try your rope-dubbed SLF caddis larva for smallies. I
think that ought to be a good one.

Well WW,
Thanks for the info. When this storm lets up I'll run over to WallyWorld to
see if I can find it.
I do have a ton of kink-shank hooks that I need to use up, though, both salt

Tom,
Actually, the "silly" discussions get serious when you fish in 'Flyfishing
Waters Only' areas, such as in Yellowstone Park. There is no 'discussion'
as to what constitutes a fly- they tell you what does and what constitutes
poaching. Problem is, that's always evolving with new materials
