    Those are big flys, I would be using them later in the year where I fish, now, smaller dry flys, BWO, Caddis, Adam's and maybe one Stimulator for an attractor along with a Streamer or two.

    Can you let us in on "why these flys?"

    Looks great, you must have HUNGRY TROUT as your target.

    Cool.

    In the small streams I fish, the big bushy dries often out-produce smaller, daintier offerings.

    So Size 8-10 Stimulators are a major part of my arsenal. (Just got back, and they worked like a charm)

    Attractor pattern factor?

    Lucky Charms surreal,

    Looks like your streams,

    got served up a BIG meal.

    With the bushy fly,

    it's all about the big guy,

    little one's don't try,

    and then they eye,

    the fastest to the sky.



    Gees, that was fun.

    And so was checking out your blog.

    Nice one.

    Anyway.

    I used to write silly little poems, I guess I still do.
