I managed a quick trip to the fly shop, today, and picked up some additional tying supplies that I realized I had still never replaced. When I reached for the bins to replace the lost Stimulator from the return scouting I did on Thursday (HERE), I found that I had no size 10, 3xlong hooks.
I know…what’s wrong with me??
Lower one is the second copy of the lost fly. Upper was today’s replacement.
Yes, I went a bit “hair heavy.” That said, my favorite little tributary has some fast pocket water, dropping into steep pools where the water runs directly into a vertical rock face, with lots of churn.
I’ll keep this one for testing purposes, just for curiosity.
And…maybe tie one somewhere in the middle, in terms of hair volume, per my good friends suggestion (thank you KK!).
I will also try to remember to post my thoughts, aftet this one gets tried out on the river.
Until then…
Tight lines…
