The usual suspects, huh? I will have to pick up some of those. I hit a couple last week on nuke eggs (pink/char.) on a local river.

Sounds like a good weekend to me. Taking fish on plugs is pretty exciting. It's tough to reproduce that hit on a fly, that's for sure. What colors worked best for you?

Cool, got a pic, Ralf? I could use seeing a chromer at work today...lol

I'm with Northern. Try the nuke eggs. McFly Foam for a little color in the middle and yarn for the veil. Cant beat em....

QUOTE I wonder if that's how DanSteelieman got his start? I wouldn't worry. People Like DanSteelieman are born. Cool post!

Howdy Clay.

I have run into some in the Grayling area with the same attitude. Their ways are right and everyone else is wrong. It doesnt take a genius to see your point. Not sure what some peoples problem is.... I also am sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I just lost a friend the same age on Saturday. Funeral was yesterday. Very very sad days.... Too young to check out.

Happy Birthday, dude!! Hope you get a chance to enjoy the day!

I don't wear a tie to work very often and I don't seem to have a problem with disrespectful students in my classroom. I'm not saying I don't dress nice for work, but I like the circulation to my head. lol Best teaching advice is to be yourself and if a tie is it, that is probably the difference in your observations.

Is that what you're telling the professor? Stel: "It was awful. The papers gone. Then I had to go FISH to blow off some steam". Professor: "Didn't you save it on your hard drive, son." Stel (like a deer in headlights) : "???????" Paper first, fish later. Get typing, young man.

Every now and again, we must put on the tie. How much did it cost to get a picture with Geena Davis?

Oh yes, the Russians... Marc put up a good fight but was TKO'd in about the 18th round. We all had a blast. Sorry you couldn't make it. I know how "time" can do that to a guy and his fishing time. Just be thankful it wasn't a wedding you had to go to last weekend. lol

I love afternoon hatches. No getting up early or floating out in the dark. Just a sunny afternoon with bugs around your head. I also like a darker grey body and cut the hackle flat on the bottom of the fly. I didnt get to fish hennies last year and I probably won't be able to tag in until sulphurs this year. In a pinch, a good #14 adams does the trick.

hey, how did you guys fair after I left? Any of those flies I gave you work? Anytime, John.
