Now come in close cause this is the good part.... after you have tied this extra tippit onto your fly throw the fly into those trees behind you. Now pull hard breaking off the fly and extra tippit. It will never drag again. .....Grabbit.....

I also caught a great fish on the emerging trico pattern I shared a while back. Please give me a moment to forward to my photobucket account... I will put it in my next post. Keep in mind I was using 8X tippet as the great fish was line shy. Lets see if I can get it up on the board. Back in a flash....Grabbit....

It would only take male trico's. Luck would have it I only had one male emerger left in my box. Dont be jealous as I'm the best. .....Grabbit.....
