    River clean up happens all day every day at Taneycomo. Help pick up trash whenever you see it. Thanks. * and to that old man with the cigar in the new Suburban - No one is there to pick up after you. Please throw away your own trash.

    The trees are falling slowly in the river...

    I am 1 hour away / and its still real messy here... Staying closer to home waters. Will update soon.

    Not sure why the trees look like they do - and the river/lake looks normal. Hmmm.

    I find myself constantly trying to duplicate those soft hackles. One of them was bright yellow. Starling & Snipe.

    Now the other half of this equation is to use it to catch a fish. Present the fly to a FISH - it will eat it. Or will it ?

    I don't seem to catch many browns this time of year myself... nice fish Phil!

    Shaping the foam with scissors first... then hand sanding them down... was a fun project for sure!

    Just watching the weather... depends on the roads...

    It will start out looking like this.... just an ordinary early morning... plenty of room for a few people...

    You must come see the scuds here for yourself - scoop up a handful of gravel... find out what color for the day!

    Some might recognize the floor as Lilley's check in :

    Foam really works well for bass flies - and I use all blank for ants and beetles. The key is to have VARIETY. Not all the same shape and size drives fish crazy. I like that shade of yellow because I am color blind. Fish like it too, especially in the early AM. the fly below is painted foam - QTpie Ants are favorite - but these little yellow things come off right away - poo
