I don't even use adult patterns anymore, I cant keep fish off of the soft hackle when grannoms are hatching, seriously!

Posts: 1776		It's wild Canada goose. It's all shades of tan-gray. I've tinted some with Pantone pens, but I'm not sure it's necessary, esp for Grannom adults. They can be very active on the water and the buoyancy of the fly mimics them pretty well. I've done well with this pattern as far apart as the Beaverkill and Gunnison.

Matt, you've been here a long time and can probably remember most good threads on here -maybe even recite them verbatim! :) Let the new guy ask his question. :) And yes, he should know there is a LOT archived here in past threads. Powderfinge, do search back, there's a treasure trove of discussion here.

Posts: 2733		Sorry for my abruptness! Diplomacy is not one of my stronger suits since becoming a septuagenarian.

Of which Grannom do thou speaketh? The one with the blackish body and mottled dark wings or the Apple caddis with the apple green body and light colored wings. Both are found in many Catskill waters but I'm not sure the Apple caddis is indigenous to the LJ.

Posts: 3233		No apple caddis on the LJ. Paul, thanks for bumping up that thread. I'd forgotten some of the ideas there that I'd planned to try out. So much to tie, such little time.
