vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2021 Yes guys, the flies were darn nice throughout. I had a 26 parachute and an 18 beadhead if I remember right and the 18 in that bunch looks like a bass fly. Great job to all who participated and we only had one no show and others definitely made up for it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll get some pics up in the next few days, and once again, I apologize for the mess of strings. I was anxious to get them out to you on time, and those stupid stringed tags were the only option I could think of when the small zip bags were gone. Must've been a good month for the heroin dealers around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2021 Niveker, what works good for almost all size flies is small tags from scrap or leftover foam. I just take a sheet and slice it into a bunch of tags ready to go. Will look forward to your getting us some pics if you get a chance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
