Exquisite! I think you should talk to the flies in order to help curb that anti-social thing! :)There is nothing wrong with a fully grown man conversing with inanimate objects.

Thanks John. It’s been fun tying these big bright patterns.

Dom,

I have a couple tutorials planned for the next two weeks. In most all of my nymphs I typically use Haretron Dubbin, Ice-Dub, or Simi-Seal. All of these dubbing are super buggy. I like tying my nymphs a little messy, so these dubbings are perfect.
Stay tuned for the tutorials.

Ben

Matt,

I like to tie mine in a size 12. For the small streams I fish, that size is just perfect. Thanks for the support and glad you like the blog.

What are the most popular sizes that you tie the mini-hoppers in? I live in Northern Canada and we still have 2.5 months until ice out…I am glad to fish vicariously through your blog.

Thanks Landon. The boxes are coming along thanks to your insights. Looking forward to the day we get to use them.
