Hi Everybody!
Karen and I just got back from Belize late last night and I am in the process of catching up on our blog!
On Monday, 24 fly tyers came to take in Larry Prowse's presentation on tying three very effective nymphs: The Shop Vac, Tunsten Teaser and a Flashback Golden Stone Nymph! The Shop Vac was first tied by Rowan Nyman, one of Craig Matthew's partners. It is an excellent searching pattern that will imitate a variety of aquatic insects. It is a great dropper nymph tied on the curve of a dry fly. It can also be used on still waters ! John Barr's Tungsten Teaser is also a dandy nymph! The final nymph was a Fashback Golden Stone. It is an effective pattern to select when the visibility is down on the river. It gets down quickly and the extra flash will hall get the fishes' attention!
Thanks Doug for the pictures and special thanks to Larry for a great evening of fly tying!
Remember that the Sportsman's Show is on this weekend at the Westerner. We have a booth set up. Special thanks to Willy and his crew for getting that pulled together!
