Pugs, haven't been fishing this year yet.. but the river is open here in town.. We are suppose to have warm weather this week, but we are off to Billings, Mt. for a few days.. May try the Bighorn near Thermop this next week.. Have to get my fly rods out and a couple back in the pickup..
I am trying to buy a few patterns of soft hackle wet flies.. I don't tie any more gave my stuff to one of my students.. The the one that is tough to locate here is the purple starling.. There may be a yellow starling also, I am not sure from the few notes I took in a shop in Montana.. If you happen to know of a tier who makes these I would appreciate his name.. I am going to do most of my fishing this years with wets, and especially soft hackle.. I would like some 12's and maybe a few 14's.. Best of luck in the coming year.
