i find nice stuff at that everything is a dollar store. a 30.00 box to store flies. i dont think so. i keep my flies in my hip pocket, fly float in my pants pocket, couple leaders at hip. rod in hand put on boots, grab basket if trout is for supper. no net, if they get away it has been good. lost biggems at shore. i walk em back. caught biggems, always gave them the chance to leave. no frills, more thrills. the other boy is right. when you get it down. a dozen flies is quite right.
deer hair wings. dark golden ginger hackle, sulphur body and deer tail tail.
ty body heavy, nice clump wings, heavy hackle, 15 strand tail. were fishing the head riffles, fast water, its warm and i want fish. i got some. really not happy to i prick them all.
i have left too many boxes on the roof of my car, bent over in fast water. fell down, had 1 too many and just forgot.
key is you don't have to show off. big is only big in your mind.
i remember back. sitting on shore smoking a cig with 8 paliminos in my basket on the west branch of pine creek above galeton pa.
a fellow on the otherside of the creek said" how you doing" told him i had 8 white ones. he said: "i heard a lot of stories. yours is the best". pulled em out of basket 1 by 1. oh yeah, he never met a guy like me. maybe that man is here on this site. hope so. or it will be only a legend.
