All of the Women work for me, NJFred... Sincerely, MP

The bigger, badder and most initimidating fly is my favorite - the cuisine of SAVAGE BROWN TROUT around the world. If I had to go with my #1 pattern -- go to go with the 1/0 BLACK SHENK SCULPIN!!

I am locked in to meet you Gents at 7 at the restaurant. Look forward, MP

DC -- Count me in. Look forward to meeting you and other NEFF anglers. MP

While reading the latest issue of Fish & Fly, "The Play's The Thing", a very funny excerpt drew a deep belly laugh from this trout bum: Page 38 --- "Before you constrict your knots, spit on them. A lubricated knot is a healthy knot. Just like in the sack, FRICTION is your true enemy."...

P.S. Don't be afraid of the dark -- embrace it.

I am starting a new venture in Hancock, NY for all fisherman that own drift boats, belly tubes, rafts, etc. Midnight Poacher Detailing, Inc. 1.) I camouflage the boats by repainting them in my favorite finish -- Midnight Black. 2.) Any squeaky objects used to 'Man the vessel are greased using...

Would not happen. Need to be after Midnight and dressed in black. Black flylines are making comeback, fyi....

Andre, "I often wonder who's smarter me or the fish? The only criteria I use is; If I catch him I'm smarter, If I don't he's smarter." The truth is that the fish are always smarter than all of us. You should have come back around 2 a.m. and used a large black sculpin by dredging the bottom...

FYI The D.R.C. swimming pool has been cleared of all African Piranhas. It looks like Jeff White and the clan have persuaded Al and Jerry to stock nearby Delaware Eels as safeguards against skinny dippers. Midnight Poachers is not discouraged -- I love to catch and eat smoked eels and large...

I fished it about 7 years ago. Excellent fishing.

JansonN You are correct. It is hard to focus while Luscious and Delicious (Vogue girlies) are over here in Santo Domingo, DR serving Rum drinkies in the latest Gucci bikinis. I can't multitask real well -- browsing on the computer and browsing over the birdies nearby.... Give us some...

I stand corrected. Old age catching up -- at second glance it is a Stenonema. The contrasting abdomen colors threw me off. Tally ho!!

Wow --- I have never seen photos like this before published. FYI, the urecognized nymph is a Isonychia. Were they taken sometime from late May - July time period?

That is huge -- to have their political influence behind this important position....

Midnight Poacher here.. Well, here we are the time when I wish that the month would blow through until April Trout season opens. This year, I have take another approach -- I have decided to stay off season in the Dominican Republic instead of staying in Manhattan - and watch the Dominican...

Give me your mailing address -- I can send you a few, if warranted. However, here is a good pattern to follow: HOOK: Tiemco 2487 #16-#20. THREAD: Tan 6/0. RIB: Fine copper wire. 4x Monifilament is another option as well. WINGCASE: Tan Antron back. BODY: Tan Rabbit Fur with Tan Anton -- a mix...

Backcountry I would fish that fly with no reservation. What size, hook type is that? My line of thought is that a 18 3x heavy stout hook would be a good bet.

Ladies and Gents, new season and new attititude. New attitude, notice my new avatar - smokin!! I am better than ever and bringing it on strong from the lovely Dominican Republic... Currently posting from the beautiful beach house with my Vogue girlies from the sandy beach in Santo Domingo...
