Switchfly

i never seem to bump into any of you guys when i am down there. I fished monday and caught 2 in an hour or so. i covered a lot of water starting down by the ball fields and working my way up. water was low and gin clear. Had a big fella decide he liked my strike indicator, which honestly spooked me I caught both my fish at the helicopter. there was a scout troop down there doing something for a bicycle merit badge or some such.

Fished today and did well(after stopping by to see Tim) Caught 23 for the day (my girlfriend caught 11). I fished a pheasant tail followed by a copper john and flat tore them up. Caught a good deal of my fish in the fly only/C&R only zone. Parts of the C&R zone were a bit snakey, which caused my girlfriend to "request" that we head back into the main area of the park.

Hey Pflu, any chance on getting the recipe on those? I'm looking for a dry midge pattern, and i really like the way those look.

You are entirely correct in that statement, JD. I've been fly fishing for about a year (it's been painful teaching myself through the internet and books), and i recently decided that i needed to learn to tie. I started yesterday and i haven't looked back. I actually just opened up an old pillow to use the stuffing for glo-balls, it worked great! It's 2 a.m. now and i'm still cranking out flies. practice practice!

I'm heading into Neosho today, and will try to get some more pics of current water levels.
