Now, that's a good one.

Enjoyed the report. Bruce

Happy New Year to all!

Beautiful, Allen. You don't actually fish with those, do you?

Don't you love global warming.

I've never fished the Hendrickson hatch and I will be fishing the Kettle Creek, PA, area in the spring. I have no patterns for the nymphs. Anyone care to give me some patterns or tell me where I can find some? I'd be very appreciative.

Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year.

How long does it take you to tie a dozen of those flies? Man they're beautiful. I don't know if I'd take a chance on losing them. When I tie a crummy nymph I don';t worry about losing a few because they're easy to tie, but those are like artwork.

Those are beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful. I would never fish that fly. I'd put that in a shadow box and proudly display it. Very nice. Bruce

Those are very nice looking flies. Good job.

I use a 9' rod and the nymph leaders I build usually come out to 10' or more and I think they don't need to be that long. I fish the small to medium size streams of PA and I'm looking for a good 7 1/2' leader. Thanks, Bruce

Whew! This is making me dizzy, but I've learned some. Have I got this correct? 1. Fluorocarbon builds better nymph leaders because they're less drag resistant, thus sink quicker? 2. The lightest butt and mid-sections one can get away with will build a better nymph leader? It seems no matter...

Really great looking job.

I tie them in olive, tan, black, white and red. So far I've done the best with the olive and red. I agree the smaller sizes work the best. I never heard of Mercer's Midgeling.
