SBPatt 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2021 Muddled White Miller Caddis Reunited with the rest of my tying stuff! The hook is a short-shank, same length as a #16 but with a wider gap; may help in hooking. The bugs should be around for Opening Day in Yellowstone in 2 weeks. hook - BVFT Dry #14 thread - Veevus 8/0 olive body - Zelon dubbing white miller wing - Congo Hair white collar - pronghorn hair white Regards, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Baron 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2021 Philly you fish the same lakes and lake styles that I do. Are there Crayfish in these rocky bottom lakes. I like these and had thought of tying some up but I don't know if the fish will recognize them as food. I suspect they will even if they aren't aware of Crayfish. Are you up there now or is that next week? I leave next Friday. Nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
