Whassa MOAT?

I know how to rope a goat.

I know how to row a boat.

I can even zip a coat.

But I can't tie a MOAT.

I dont have the recipe, but I picked up a few from Brian a few trips ago. Its a big (size 4, 6, or 8) rubber leg stone fly pattern with a couple big tungsten beads and lots of lead on it. Its tied on a york bend hook (TMC 200R or Dai Riki 270), two long brown rubber legs out the back tied long, dubbed body, 4 or 6 brown rubber legs out the thorax, and two out the front. Brian can give you more detail, but IMO anything big & heavy with lots of rubber legs seems to work well on the NFoW & 11pt. My fav is the old fashioned rubber leg stone fly.

Troutchaser, whatever your day job is, don't give it up to be a comedian.
