Posts: 47		Four days off for the Holiday left me time to BBQ ribs and start filling my fly Boxes. The first three patterns I will be using on a local Tailwater (Frying Pan) this morning. The rest will be used in a few weeks/Month.

Posts: 2608		Hey fella you are breaking my heart here! :) That Bow looks sweet.

You need to pass on some recipes...I'm curious, what are you using on those abdomens on those last three flies?

The river looks good...We just finally got a couple inches of snow this evening to make it look like Christmas and the temp dropped a bit.

You can PM me if you wish to save some secrets...:)

Posts: 47		Spence, no secrets. The abdomens are Midge Tubing with wire or Krystalflash inserted as a core. I really doubt that this technique makes a bit of difference to the fish, but I enjoy using it. Ribbing the abdomen with wire after midge tubing has been applied would work just as well.

It's a technique that works well for me on patterns as small as 22 and 24's aswell
