Thanks. Classic river for dry fly fishing. Love it up there. We fished the Teton River one day too. One of the most gorgeous rivers I've fished. Nice 'bows and native cutts in it.

Thanks

Henry's Fork rainbow from last week. 23". Size 18 rusty quill parachute.

Very nice. Keep that little trooper trooping on!

If only I could remember that when I'm at the fly shop

My fave non-trad materials, probably McFlylon and standard Z-lon. Wings, posts, shucks, tails, wing cases, legs, chironomid pupa gills, etc. The stuff is pretty versatile

"Anything else and you’re just a hoarder." I have lots of different color necks and saddles. I use each and every one of them. Substituting is AOK, of course. I do agree with the rest of what you said.

Gorgeous

Can't keep a good man down!

I can attest to it also. They still catch fish.

Just go for it. You know how to get to Carnegie Hall don't you? Without taking a taxi.

Steve I'm living vicariously through your pictures and commentary. I'm jealous of the great time you're obviously having.

Dang George, that's a real beauty

I'm gonna stop in at Henry's Fork Anglers and see if I can a Mike Lawson tied couple as models.

That's a beauty. Charlie Craven also says it's a bear to tie.

I feel you. I think I dulled 2 razor blades tying the latest batch. Let's not forget that the wing slips aren't supported by anything so even if you get 'em all lined up and standing the way you want 'em to and then bump 'em while snipping the waste you're back to square one. Still as frustrating as they are it's a great fly and will increase your skill set. PS. they are much easier if you tie in the thorax before the wing, but that's cheating. Hahaha

What they all said. Lefty too, cast left reel right.

Gene I don't see 'em on the bamboo forum.

I've been working on that pattern. Makes me feel like I've just started tying.

Those are pretty cool. I like to use a small nonlead shot and adjust with tungsten putty. Regarding weight I like to work my way down the water column rather than starting at the bottom and working my way up.

Very nice

Gene, I tie 'em every now and then.

A fool and his, you know what are soon parted. BTW, I can't believe that anyone can think poorly of you Mark

Wonderful deal Darrell!

Thanks Norm
