Hi Gary,
slow list, indeed, but I'm slow as well.
Tying is slow, I'm too busy with family duties - family grows like
crazy, 4 grandchildren so far and 3 to surface until end of year.
I was out only once a week ago, with my oldest grandchild - thze boy is
3. So, we had some fun, did catch one small fish, and missed a 2nd one.
The 'productive' pattern was my blue parachute beetle. I did ty this one
at the sowbug.
I hope, you folks had more time for fishing
Best
Rene

Fishing reports? New patterns you are tying?
Fishing here has not been too good. We have had so much rain that the
Mississippi by La Crosse, Wi just lifted the No Wake regulations that
have been in place for a record 90 days. Previous record was 46. The
trout streams are running a four times normal flow. That seems to
have caused the hatches to be off schedule. Panfish spawning is
affected too. I have managed to catch a few fish. But nothing is
happening at the normal times. Part of the challenge, I guess. A new
(to me) fly I've tied is: Grillo's Hippie Stomper.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4rilByk4hU . it was created for
trout, but I know it works for Bass. My son in law has a pond behind
his back yard and has just started fly fishing. i gave him two and he
caught a nice three pound Smallmouth on one. Probably will work for
Panfish too.
Tuesday I'm scheduled to take two of my grandsons fishing. We will go
to a local pond and try for Bluegills. Normally this would be a
guaranteed success. But you never know. The last time I took them
they wandered around the pond trying to catch frogs. They had a great
time. Which is the whole point. I remember doing the same for
crawdads when I was a kid in West Virginia.
