Word on site is that the freezing weather is on its way. Hard to believe

Jerry McKaughan got his flies here first, so he get's a special item
back with his flies. Actually I'm sorting and streamlining my materials
so it is a extra item I deemed I don't need.
1. Don Ordes- 18 Below Caddis Fly Nymph (18” below the strike indicator)
2. Allan Fish
3. Mike
So far we have 8, and I'll run with eight or less than a nice dozen.

Hi VFB,
I am researching the origins and possible original recipe (if this is
actually a Tom Nixon creation) for this fly:
http://chemprof.tripod.com/midnite2.htm
Is this a Tom Nixon original tied in the way he did it, or a variation
created by someone else that is distantly related to Nixon's
Estaz and Ice Chennille wouldn't have been available to Tom Nixon. This
must be someone's variation on his pattern.

I have a later printing of the first edition of Tom Nixon's book. In
it, the Calcasieu Pigboat was made from heavy black chenille, rubber
