Thanks, I will try to find the half and half Carey Special.

Too many hooks, feathers, fur, synthetics... the list goes on.

Rick, there was a streamer that had half Pheasant tail and half Peacock herl body. In the Carey Special family. I cannot find the name. Cool concept. Capt Bob and Norm knock it out of the park, as usual. DFoster, I often use longer hackles by accident, but if you look at some of the old soft hackles from back in the day, they had longer hackles than we use today. You are on to something.

Great flies everyone! Rick, those will slay the panfish.

Ok. I am confused. Ignote me.

I think I am afraid I will break it. I plan on using it more this year. It is an excellent rod.

Gillage. Sorry, I was confused about who tied it. What size hook?

Norm, that last fly should be killer for Bass and Panfish. I probably should use more rubber legs on Trout. I could see it working with the bead on the head, as well.

Great flies, everyone!
