Yeah, the Sawyer method of nymphing is the game elevated. I've pulled it off a few times. Not easy. You really need to put the time into it. But when it works...the feeling is like no other.

Yes, It's the filoplume from the base of a feather.
Their insulation and our super soft when you want lots of life in your pattern.
Work that into your Sawyer ... or just fish a perdigon

Sorry Dale, I dont use the filoplume. I use the fluff at the bottom of the main feather.RickA wrote: ↑Sat Apr 06, 2024 12:24 pmYes, It's the filoplume from the base of a feather.

Wow, I didn't even know what filoplume was until a few minutes ago, when I looked it up. Amazing what I learn here.
