Larry T and i snuck out to the Smith last week on a bluebird day - He usuually gives caching lessons and pbj sandwiches with equal gusto.
After an unusually slow am - found some feeding fish on bwo emergers -handed off a size 24 bwo parachute to larry and he immediatly hooked up. many fish later for both of us and catching both on top and some just under the surface we both retired for the afternoon. Beautiful fish - great water - good friends- a lot to be thankful for -Baxter


This little size 20 bwo dry was responsible for a lot of sore jaws - streamside prices --- PRICELESS !!!!

Baxter,

It's great to see you post. I hope you are doing well. The same goes for Larry. Have you acquired any new boo lately?

Hey man good to see a report from flytyer and you Baxman --glad yea still can stretch a string with that ole BWO bug. Wish I could see them pics but all I got is redx

[flytyer]

Don't know if this post will work or not. It has been a long time since I have tried to post. This fly is tied on a size 20 hook. The wings are tan poly yarn, same as i used when tying the smith river bandit, tan tail. the body is olive dun thread (no dubbing). The hackle is silver badger dyed olive. This was a fly i had in my box for quite some time. I cut the wings down some on the stream to try and make a smaller fly to match what i saw working the top of the water. Hope Baxter can figure out posting those pictures..

Hey did you get that fly from plumbob? He's getting rusty on those dries.

Dang, I thought you two had dropped off the face of the earth! It's been a looong time since I've seen that Caddy parked at the mirror factory.

You gotta love those tiny BWO's. A royal pain to see on the water, but they do produce.

Can't tell you how good it is to see you two back and at 'em. And putting some posts up.

Glad you guys caught some fish and Welcome back!!

Rusty or not young grasshopper, you still haven't plucked the pebble from my hand.

Glad to see the secretweapon and the ORIGINAL FLYTYER are still around. You guys just brought back memory's of the grand old days that were around here. I feel like putting on a pair of bell bottoms and letting what hair I got left grow down to my shoulders. Thanks for bringing back to mind the fun things from the past it really has made my day. If we had a post from outdoorguy, and Grumpy's what ya doing this weekend post I could have a smile on my face for the rest of the year.
