FLYMPH FORUM

What a wonderful piece of water that is! It looks just right for wading, and it obviously holds nice fish. As others have observed, Wayne, you are lucky man! Thank you for letting us enjoy vicariously.

May have to make a short detour at the end of Sept. When

hank & Rascal (oorp), from the road...

Hank, give me a little heads up and I will take you out. If it's during the week, I will take a half day off from work.
Take I-70 back to Utah, and be ready to stop over in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Of the 5 locations I fished yesterday on the Roaring Fork, all but 1 can be accesed by an RV.

I'll definately be in touch...

Heres the Net Builders that were so prevelant.. The Net builders I encountered were dark all along the top of the back, and a darker shade of Green. I know it's hard to imagine, but my pattern did copy the Net Builders very well in profile and color. The only thing missing from my patterns is, the actual insects were a size 10, and all I had were size 14. Thank goodness I targeted the near sighted, dumb fish.





This is the pattern I used

Hook- Dai-Riki 135 size 14
Thread – 8/0 Uni, Olive
Abdomen – Olive Midge Tubing with a Black Krystalflash core, wrapped over a base of Olive thread.
Thorax- Dark Brown Rabbit , or Black Rabbit fur
Collar – Dark Brown Hen Hackle

Wayne, this is a brilliant thread on all counts. Thanks for sharing your time on the water and this killer pattern. Nicely done.

Gorgeous. That first picture is something else, wow.
Oh wait, they're all "wow".

Thanks for sharing!

Goodness sakes, I almost missed the new photos. Terrific additions, Wayne. That caddis dressing is superb.

No, never ever. You would end up slaying the trout on a purple fly. I dont want you to watch me break my fly rod over my knee!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I do consider myself blessed to live where I do, and also to have gotten to know so many people on this site!
