Nice flies Kevin, interesting consept on the bugger-n-baitfish one....

it just made sense, I was trying to find a way to piss fish off --- you know big fish eat's little fish, sort of thing. the way i figuerd it is that if big fish see's little fish trying to eat little leach, that big fish is goimg to eat someone. it does catch fish & thats the fun

here is a no f?ck - up photo of the 720 & my mess of a bench

 

Dude! I thought I was the only messy marvin around here! thanks for showing me that a messy bench works1

Rereading my post perhaps I wasn't clear what I was saying. Yes I know its an ant. I ment to say I don't know what it is about the parachute but it seems to be money. Its always been much more effective for me than the ants hackled around the abdomen.

This past summer at a church retreat I did A class/casting clinic on fly fishing in a overstocked trout pond. While talking about fly selection I was emphatic about how much trout love ants. The next day a spin casting buddy of mine went down the road to another pond and pulled in a beautiful 4 Lbs 20 inch brown trout caught on a gold and silver kastmaster. When we cleaned him at the cleaning table his gullet was filled with a few midge larvae, while 99.9 % of his gut was filled with ants! Out here in the high sierra's of Claifornia we get size 10 ants! They actual will make you bleed when they bite! They'll snap a toothpick in two like it was butter! This pic just reminded me of that and how important ants are in a guys fly box.
