If you have never attended the Sow Bug you owe it to your self to get to Mountain Home and see just how much you can learn about fishing and fly tying. I had a lady sit at my tying position the first day and she was very interested in my Blue Gill fly that I was tying. After giving her a couple of the flies she said may I show you a fly we fish her in Arkansas for blue gills. She did just that and I must say she knew what she was doing. Well to make a long story short, I brought that fly home with me back to Ohio. Well my friends I went fishing at my favorite golf course pond today and took along that same fly that the lady gave me. I was at least smart enough to have tied several of them so I would not loose the one and only. On the very first cast I caught a hand sized slab bluegill that I couldn't even reach around to hold him while I took out the hook. About nine inches long!! Missed one on the next cast and caught another on the third cast. I was about ready to fly to Mountain Home and thank the lady. I caught several more and put them all back to catch again soon. I just thought the list needed a fish story for a change. I can post the pattern if someone would like it. Buck Hall Coldwater, OH [email protected] http:\\home.roadrunner.com/~ehall77 Live simply.
