Rick was talking about doing a leach pattern he likes. It's black with a mane of red around the front. I caught 22 trout on one, promptly following the stocking truck. I parked over a hole, and pulled out fish after fish until I lost the fly. I put on a black wooley bugger and caught a couple more but nothing like the little leach. He ties them with black thread if they're not weighted, and red if they are. Kind of smart. I have no Earthly idea what to tie. I've had my nose in a pattern book too. I thought about a streamer called a Joe's Smelt we have a lot of fun with up here. I don't know though. Hunting season's going to officially end before I pack up my stuff and cart out the fly stuff.
