>>>What Are You Tying Today? Part VI

[Mashbill]

Lighter color March Brown, tied on a Sprite #10. My notes from last year on the Beaverkill & East Branch say “ lighter MBs, bigger - size 10” … they were all over the place, especially EB. Got my hands on these Sprites … never heard or used before… very easy to tie on. Something says “brittle” to me - maybe the color? On sale?? We’ll see!

Been playing with light Hendrickson klinks throughout the week. Drinking too much every time and not happy with em yet, but will fish.
