| Palmyra PA Posts: 983 | John Dunn, You were right: Rit Tan is not what I used before. A hot session with the dye baths today showed me that Rit #34, Taupe, is the color on the original Hairy Honeybug. I'm posting this up for Jeff and any others with an interest. Not that the fish would care. Or would they? | |

| Butler--- Western Pa Posts: 165 | I'm going to show my wife this post:) Any how I wish their was another way , with all my sophisticated high tech tying methods, I still catch them with junk on a hook. But I was the only one jawing about the Cicadas and complaining about fishing being to easy-------by the way can I take those words back. John | |

| Palmyra PA Posts: 983 | Many thanks, Jeff. I suspected as much when I saw how the tan turned out; I'll try the tan as well for a bit of variety. Then fuschia. Next teal. Ah, the possibilities. | |
