timsfly Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I was going to make it up and holler at you when I was on the Juan, but the fishing was so good, and I only made it to Aztec for gas and groceries one evening. I had thought about fishing up your way, but had heard of all the rain and muddy water, so I just stayed and fished on the juan every day, you know those little brown #24 thread midges will catch fish just about everywhere if you tie them the right way, I have found if you keep the flies very tight and smooth they work better than the small ones that are shaggy, I run them through my alchol burner before I add glue, this removes all the stray strands of thread and leaves the body very smooth. Thanks for hosting this fly swap, I hope we get the 25 people, more flies the better Tim Homesley 23387 st. hwy 112 Cassville, Mo 65625 Roaring River State park Tim's Fly Shop www.missouritrout.com/timsflyshop

motroutbum Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 sweet. Im glad you had a good trip. Yeah i know what you mean with the thread midges. as long as its small, its gonna catch fish...especially in T-hole. The animas has been muddy the whole month of august except for 3 days. The rains finally stopped and its in perfect condition right now....flows of 500+ cfs. Perfect for floating, in fact we are gonna float it today. There are two types of people. Those who dream dreams and wish, then there are the do'ers. I am a do'er!
Luke Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I started tying my flies last night. I quit at a dozen. I'm hoping that we can get a few more people to join this swap, I'd hate to be finished already. --Luke
superfly Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Count me in. This past summer I got the chance to fish the Bighorn River in MT. We fished a two fly system. The top fly is what the guide called the Bighorn Worm. That is what I will tie - Bighorn Worm. Matt

Terry Beeson Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Is a "San Juan Worm" considered a midge? TIGHT LINES, YA'LL "There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process." - Paul O’Neil
superfly Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Sorry, No a San Juan Worm is not a MIDGE. Scratch it from the list. Matt
Greg Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 I'd like to be in the swap. I think I'll tie a thread and peacock herl midge that has worked for me at Taney, Bennett, and Montauk.
