Re: Black Ghost
I never would have thought to tie this fly on this hook; you did a wonderful job. My grandfather loved this pattern tied tandem, I hated it. I followed his lead on the 9/3's, but not the Black Ghost. I really like the idea of adding the JC to this fly, Norm.

Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.
