I'm good but I ain't that good. Just had teacher in high school that wielded a mighty mean yard stick.....

Uh-huh. I wasn't learned nuthin' in school, neither.

Dang, I've been too busy to even get on here and find out how much trouble I'm in. Will be April before I get a break.

Like 1minute said, if the train needs to leave the station without me, I understand!

Sorry guys!

He's been found! We can stand down the Army and the National Point Guard.

From your schedule, you must be a tax preparer.

MissT, crack my box open and take a peek inside. It's been so long- my larvae might have pupated and hatched. Let me know if I need to tie some replacements.

All's that's left is bare hooks.

Perhaps I should send damselfly eggs again. They might stay young long enough to be distributed.
Then again, maybe not...

Not something I would stake the lives of young larva on....

Maybe a pair of adults, then?
(Not the California type!)
You feed and pamper them, let them keep laying eggs, and then you send along whatever generation seems appropriate.

I guess that might work.....

I had only one goal this year, and that was to not be last. Hooray!!

So, seeing as how I was a seriously lazy ass, here's the recipe and description.


Cranefly larva, with a little help from the ghost of Frank Sawyer:

Hook: Umpqua 200R, size 8.
Body: Hand dyed Paxton wool, 00229.
Appendages: Dark Olive flex floss
Thread: 6/0 light olive thread
Weight: 20 turns .020 lead

The color of the larva when dry, is way too bright, and way to light. Let it get nice and soaked before fishing.

I'm beginning to think that the New Year's resolution of several of our members was quite the opposite--to make every effort to be last.

Oh the larva will be tasty!

Announce that to the stream prior to casting. Can't hurt.

BTW, are some of you using 'larva' as the plural? Larva, larvae.
(I had to take four years of it, learned almost nothing. Almost.)

Tastae!

Keep trying. You'll get there.

I promise to get in on the 2014 session. If I'm timely, they might go out with this year's run. I'd suggest moth-balling those that are presently being held. Also...

The group needs to get some lawyers and legal up on several potential facets of life/death. Folks could die, be jailed or committed, and one would have figure out how to handle a variety of issues during dispersal.

Oh, my goodness! That's scary!
I expect that the dilatory ones will now hurry their submissions in, so threatened with having to deal with lawyers.

Picture the matron at the institution opening the box of LARVAE intended for the committed one - surely further repercussions.
