Where Is Everyone?

Why, are you doing something WRONG in there ?

So what is the ticket Rich? May be headed that way.

#18 BH midges in a couple different colors. Most of the fish I caught were on an olive with a small sparkle tail. 7x tippet seems to be the ticket also. There seems to be a pretty good current too so make sure you use a long tippet and good mending is a must.

btw - thanks to NoLuck late for providing a logical explanation for having your name on your stringer. However, it still seems nuts to me that it would be required. Government run, I suppose.

Rich,

Hit the stream Sunday, the wife came this time. The FC Crackleback was my favorite above the dam with full sink. Didn't matter what color as long as you got it down into the moss. Slowly pull it through then yank it out and WHAM! Game on! The only day I didn't catch 30 plus was Wednesday when I fished it only for 1 hour. Played below Holland dam most of the morning trying to get some to rise. That was a bust for me!!

2nd week in July may be down for the week!!

BTW did you ever get the pic of my big brown developed?

Hey Pat,

To be honest I forgot about that pic. I have 2-3 pics left on that disposable. I'll just take some random pics and get tem developed. I Am working 7 Twelves right now but as soon as I can I'll get them done.

Where were you sunday? I didn't leave till Monday morning around eleven.

Ok, I'm having a senior moment...What is FC Crackleback?

I'm going to have to try the deep crackleback stripping. Sounds like you guys did well. I hope to get down next friday or monday. I'm hot to try out my new Sage Vantage 5 WT!!!

I'm guessing FC=Feather Craft

Yep FC = Feathercraft. My understanding is Ed Story was the original "daddy" of the Crackleback. His original pattern is awesome!

Rich,

Sunday, we didn't get down until around 6. Stayed up in CG 4. I fished up by the gauge house Monday, then down at the dam. Sorry I missed you.

[rcguy]

thanks Pat. I'll look on the site but I believe it is the yellow body with brown hackle one.

[brittsnbirds]

Yes sir it is!! But the big question, What did he use for the original body? Hint, what type of feather?

Makes an awesome body, I have switched all of mine to that material, as it gives it a ribbed appearance.
