I asked her the other week off list how she learned to tie that well
in such a relatively short period of time.. I also agree on Tony,
and I haven't seen Rick's woven mayfly, but If somebody can tie a
Knit Pickin Mayfly any better than the one Tony sent me, I'd love to
see one. In my experience so far, for catching fish, the Chili
Pepper would be at the top of the list too..But, Don O, (or Buggs or
whoever tied em LOL) sent me some awesome flies too. Even if they
were tied with Ice Age materials, Chuck
Oh, and I don't wanna toot my own horn, but I had this hot pink
chenille, I think it came with my starter kit.. I tie on a gold
beadhead, that hot pink chenille body, a black tail from squirrels
tail, and a hen or a rooster's black hackle, on #12 and #14 hooks,
and if we counted correctly, Myself and my family, from early April
till now, have caught and released (well, kept a few to eat) 2,000
bluegills and shell crackers (and a handful of largemouth bass) of
that one type fly. I call it a "Pink Panfish Producer"
Chuck,
Can you send me a picture of this fly? I think I have it in my head
right, but just want to make sure!
