I told the story earlier but this fly was a favorite of President Eisenhower and also one of mine to tie and use if I get to trout. Bluegill will blast it of course but there's flies a lot simpler to tie than this bluegill will just as readily fight over as to who gets it.

breambuster 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2020 We received flies from Fishingbobnelson and Flat Rock Native yesterday and a set from dflanagan today. That means that all the sets are in. I will get them sorted over the weekend and in the mail on Monday. Oddly enough, we also received some parachutes from Vicrider today. Sorry, Woodenlegs, he beat you out this time. Vicrider will get extra fly this time. I will be posting the Parachute Swap this weekend and also another post about what the 5th round will be in case some of you need to order materials. I don’t remember if we have done a swap like it here before, but probably, before I knew what it was. Have a good weekend and stay safe BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2020 Hey Guys, yesterday was a pretty tough day for me. For 1 thing, I spent most of the night, Sunday night in the ER with our daughter who has lots of health issues and who lives with us. When I finally got home about 3:30 AM, I was too keyed up to sleep much. Yesterday, I had to go to 3 different places trying to find a battery for my wife’s car. Everyone was closed because of the virus. But having said that, I wanted to let you know that I got your flies to the Post Office yesterday afternoon and they are on their way to you. You should begin receiving them in the next few days. Enjoy putting them into your well-stocked fly box. BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2020 The Zebra midge is to drop from the H&L Variant, a definite high floater. Double jeopardy for the fishes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
