Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
I don't think I resemble that description, but I'll take it. I think this thread has a record page count for the new neff. Look what 3 people can do! And we found out that finite really does tie flies.......
Great report, great looking fish. I just wish I had enough hair on my head to have my own DA. That's why I go around picking dead ducks. I think that's why anyway. That's my story and I'm sticking with it. Still too cold for me, but I'm a candy ass anyway.
I like your idea of the jig hook...
There is a lot to digest here. People should discuss these topics more often when fishing. Yoga poses on a blowdown. Fashion show at the foot of a riffle. Doobie around the fire. Windmill on the car. Lots of great ideas here.

They look even better in person. I appreciate this for the flies, and for you getting me to fish some midges when the water gets low. I have not done it for years, and I should have been. They are really fine midges, and an exceptional sulphur. The way you tied it has been a good pattern for me...
Absolutely you get extra points. Those are some really nice streamers. I have been stuck in on various marabou muddlers and black ghosts for too long. I got hungry when I looked at them for some fish and chips.
