bellevue.chartreuse.trout 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2015 Reminds me of a "Screaming Banshee' I tried to tie this past year. I couldn't tie them down to the size I wanted... yet! I think I only tied 12s or 14s. Want to get them down to a 18 at least! Practice, practice, practice.... I'll get there. Scott, you provided many SBSs ... this is another good one - thank you very much. Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever the heck you may observe or not. lol BCT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
