Excellent! I tied it with the profile of a Streaking Caddis (Skimming
Caddis) in mind, but experimentation at the kitchen sink showed me
that the foam overwing tends to float at water level, so the body acts
more like a drowned deer fly than a skimmer. Try different things;
letting it dead drift, skimming it, giving it some short 'death throe'
vibrations...I'd be very happy to hear how it works for you.

For sure. I'll be away from my computer for a few days but will post
results when I get back from E. Wash.

Haven't been able to try it yet. A break in the weather has me still
hanging corregated sheet on my shed. With any luck I won't fall and
will get out of Dodge in a day or two.

Myron
Well I tried out the Super fly last week on the Touchet River and it/
we caught a scrappy (8") Cut. It was very cold, 11-3pm fishing, zip on
water. I know there were lots of blue bottle flies around because my
camper was full of them, dead and sluggish. The deer here had a
Blue-Mouth die-off all along the river.

Anyone have more info on the practicallity of using these large
Diptera immitations in the late fall/early winter?

The surprise fly this trip was Svend Tang-Petersen's Trigger Nymph. I
caught 2 nice little Bows. This is a totally new fly to me but it
seems not others. I am going to try to tie it.

I plan to fish them all, even the prettiest.:-)

Dave
