The minutiae of winter....

[lightenup]

I find in winter, fish are more willing to eat a small morsel than a large meal....so my preparation for fishing small rivers in the NJ winter begins...
a Griffith's gnat(sparsely hackled), a pheasant tail(a necessity), and a zebra midge(these always work)........and a hook with a holographic tinsel body and tail, and peacock, bead head...
I haven't tied in five months....this was fun, and challenging........ I really want to start working on the salmon flies again, but my materials are still mostly packed away...

Just a reminder, when you take pics of your pocket change, please make sure you take the pocket lint off of them. You left some on the pics of the pennies you wanted to show us

Nice ties.

you got a long ways to go to catch those guys with San Juan worm video though ...

Just a reminder, don't forget to tie me the RS2's you promised, you know, the ones from the video? A dozen each of #22-26. Thanks, LU!

Aren't glad I can read your mind, WBDluver?

LU is a damn good tier.

He's to fly tying what Mac is to moderating.

Matt, if you would like to be the official tier of GB mag, I would consider it if you paid for the space on my site.

PM me and I'll send you prices.
