Leonard Posted February 20, 2007 Author Posted February 20, 2007 Terry how did you guess that?? I know I have never showed anyone that pattern before... But I had to shorten the name because that is just too much to say or remember.. so now I simply call it a size 8 crackleback.... Yes the crackleback is what I was using lastnight.. and yes there was a hatch coming off the water.. this hatch happened just as the sun dropped behind the dam.. and lasted till almost 8pm Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com
