hanging midges and comparaduns work nicely for me, too. I'm looking forward to some winter tailwater fishing hopefully this week, if not then soon

You know ... I never realized just how much this site helps me get through a weekend in a hotel.

I mean, I've always enjoyed the time I spend in here ... well, it's a bit more than that.

Last week, I got a bad case of food poisoning, from Longhorn Steakhouse. Wednesday and Thursday were truly horrendous days for me. Friday was a bit better, and I actually ate some food that day. I also got online for the first time ... and saw that there was no FTF !?!?!

Saturday ... I felt much better, but still couldn't be more than 30 seconds from a toilet.

Sunday I was good. Felt fine, ate food from Arby's next door. Didn't NEED it, but still wanted to stay within sprint distance of the loo.

 

So, here I was. I didn't feel "right" enough to tie many flies ... and my favorite forum site was down. I really missed you people !!!

I did manage to tie something new for me.

Kimo style scud ...

My first fly of the month submission. I decided not to be intimidated by the great ties and fancy camera work.

 

It's suppose to be a black caddis but I didn't have dyed black mallard flank so I used an al dente mallard flank. Maybe I'll call it a flying ant.

@poopdeck

I like that downwing, did you figure that out? Should work great. I think I've only seen that done with upwings and emergers
