Re: Spencer

Lovely dressing. I'm going to have to borrow my friends copy of Trout since I don't have my own. I really like the hooks your using. My friend finally got some in his shop and I bought almost everything he had. A bit pricey, but a very nice hook.

Re: Meet the team

Beautifully dressed team of flies. If there are cased caddis about, still attached to their rocks, I've found the Black and Peacock to be a killer pattern. I'd fish all three with confidence.

Re: pheasant and quail

I like that fly a lot. The backlighting of the body is a very nice touch.

Re: March Brown

One thing I learned about those old guys who seem to be catching fish. They know what they're talking about. I learned a lifetimes worth about flyfishing while tossing flies with just such a gentleman on the Yellowstone River. One of the best weeks of my life, fishing wise.

Re: March Brown

Andrew,

Feign confidence all you want. I will be fishing that pattern with great confidence on the local waters. Apparently I haven't spent enough time perusing Williams' Dictionary.

Re: Grouse Spider Variants

Very buggy looking flies. I am partial to the orange silk with cobblers wax. The more muted colors look very good.

Re: Stewarts Black Spider

I've had West Slope Cutthroat take a size 14 Baillie's (Stewart's) black spider in the middle of an October Caddis hatch. I assume (and that's dangerous) the Spider looked more alive than the actual Caddis did. My Go-To fly on most rivers.
