Old Pattern

This is a 10 year old pattern.  The body is tied with golden pheasant tail and copper wire.  It was very effective this morning.  No I need to tie some more for the upcoming guide trips.

Easter


The Easter rabbit treated me right this afternoon.  I was trying out a new pattern and the fish seem to like it.  Now I have to tie up a few more to make sure they like it.

Leggs

Legg past way yesterday.  She was one of Darlene's horses.  Leggs was one of the best pack horses ever.  Leggs was always ready to work moveing cows, elk hunting, and just out for a ride.  She did like her grain.  Leggs will be missed

Great Float

Fishing with the wind a your back is fun.  Today was a very good day for fishing.  All the fish wanted to play.  Tha Arkansas River Stone Fly was on fire.

No wind this morning.  There were many midges on the water when I got down to the water.  Most of the fish ate a black zebra midge.
