Contact me off-list for my address. My fly boxes are full of patterns that most guys would frown upon; Simple tyes that catch fish. I am getting back to basics: flys that catch fish--or the fly is thrown out. I know this gives the material marketers and the hook vendors NIGHTMARES. However, if the bug does not work why waste time & money on it. I mean the idea is to catch fish---Right? Thanks for your email. I really would like to see your creation. geo --- Chuck Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > George: I happened on a hot pink chenille this past > Winter, and I call the > fly the "Pink Panfish Producer", cause I have never > seen it in books, > videos, net links etc...
