Where Is Everyone?

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.

He used turkey rounds of course!!!

[NoLuck]

The original CB is pale yellow with furnace brown hackle with peacock spears down the back.

As I recall the original body was dubbed and he later started using turkey rounds.

There's about a thousand variations of this fly now it seems. Every color body and hackle one can think of.

I thought Turkey rounds was something that happened at the Thanksgiving dinner table! I'll have to look it up.

I'm going to tie more CB's. I'm going to tie some beadhead to try also.... now where did I put those Turkey rounds?

NoLuck, Would a black beadhead, medium moss green body, with a little flashboo tail be about right for the olive midge? I think you showed me that midge you tie once.

Jerry,

The midge I think you are thinking of was a hybrid of sorts. This one is similar to a zebra midge except it has light or dark olive thread. The color of the bead and wire depend on what the fish want. I would tie up a few different combos and play with them.The small flashabou works for the tail. The tail don't need to be very long, maybe a quarter of an inch or less. Try to use the smallest bead on a #18 hook you can get on so it will have a better hook gap so you can hook up better.

rc-

A kid next to me last week was hitting them pretty hard on this combo;

FC CrackleBack

#14 TMC 100 ( or equivalent) hook

Red thread

Red body (thread or vinyl stretch tube)

Brown Furnace hackle

The vinyl stretch tube makes a nice segmented body and for some reason they like the color?? I also tied some with grizzly and dun colored hackle.

Hit me with an email (pkmckarnin@gmail.com) and I will give you more detailed info.

Does anyone know Cabella's broken rod return policy! I broke my Traditional II 8 wt last night setting the hook on a lilly pad. It is 2 years old. Am I screwed?
