If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

Subject: Re: [VFB] How far off is this fly from a Tom Nixon original?

Wes,

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
legs, and a spinner on the back of the fly tied on an extended piece of
monofilament.

If I ever get my driveway plowed and permission from my wife to get out
of the house, I'll try to make a copy of the 'recipe' and send it to
you.  I can also send you a chunk of the chenille he used.  It's very
hard to find today.

Somewhere in my collection, I've got an original Calcasieu Pigboat tied
by Tom.  If I can find it, I'll include a photo.

In the 2nd edition of Tom's book, he dropped the spinner from the recipe.

af

p.s.:  The above is from memory.  I'll have to dig the book out to see
how well I remember it.
