Wes, Very nice. I got one of your juice-bug damsels in the juice-bug swap, didn’t I? I need to go find it in the swap-fly box and make some copies. Need more clear Jelly-rope first, tho.
What size were the ones you used? DonO From: Wes Wada Sent: Monday, July 29, 2013 8:04 PM To: VFB Mail Subject: [VFB] Where is every?one : Wes's season so far Hi VFB! Spring fishing in central Oregon was Gone with the Wind. At one point, had scheduled eight trips, only to be able to make two, due to wretched weather. I was getting depressed! Felt like the whole season was going down the tubes. Had a couple of very good days at Davis Lake for Largemouth Bass. Then finally the weather warmed in July, and this month has been incredible. I have mostly been fishing Crane Prairie Reservoir for the big rainbows, and in the last 12 days, have C&R two 27", two 26" and three more over 20". The fly of choice was my Juicebug Damsel, both in the original version, and lately an olive brown, copper-eyed, heavy hook version. The light wire hooks in the original pattern were no match for these fish, so ended up going to a 3X heavy Fuling Mills Competition Heavyweight from the UK. That's done the trick. The tails and abdomen are dyed Arctic Fox body fur. Also in the third season of restoring our 1975 vintage Dodge Maxivan camper. The camping has almost been better than the fishing. We are tinder dry here, and fires seem to start every day, but have been quickly extinguished. The greatest fear will be a dry lightning storm. Hope you are able to view the photos. Safe travels.
