Ron, thanks and good luck of the fly tying event. It sounds like a great gathering on a winter's day. Please let us know how it goes. Fishnkilts, I know what you mean and I have seen plenty of pictures as viewed from the front of the fly but not as viewed from the back of a fly. Not sure why I took ...

Re: Mini Me Coachman and Coviello's emerger
Ron,
Great report and I am glad the coachman variant worked for you. I have been traveling quite a bit over the last few months and now that I am home, I will catch up with all the posts I missed. Thanks again for a great report.

I am half-way through this book already! It is a great read and I highly recommend it. If you are remotely interested in spey casting for trout, this book is a must have.

Re: Newriverspey's Coachman Variant redux
Ron,
The changes you made are subtle but it looks great! Let me know what you conjure up when you swing that fly, hopefully soon!

Re: Pine Rug Sculpin
Ron,
Yes, those are both inverting patterns and I use a #8 orientsun streamer hook and a 4.0 mm tungsten inverting bead. When mountain stream fishing, I often go to the dark side.

Re: Pine Rug Sculpin
