Hi Allan,
delivering Meals on Wheels sounds like presenting a fly to a fish. So,
delivering MoW to Allan is... ok, I stop this nonsense.
Nice to hear from you. Best wishes to the pcomming surgery. Keep us
informed.
Best
Rene

I’ve seen hooks similar to those when I worked for a time in a bait
shop after I retired. They were larger hooks designed as weedless
worm hooks. I never thought about using them for flies.
I’d love to see a picture of that 2-headed monster. <g>. I may have
to get us some Never Snags.
Don’t know if I told you, I had a minor setback about 3 months ago. I
have a fractured vertebra. I’m wearing a bra….er…..brace that helps a
little but not a lot. I’ve been trying to get in for surgery for 6
weeks and I finally got a call this morning. It will be the 15th of
next month.
I can only tie a couple of flies before the back says STOP. It’s not
so much bending as it is holding my arms up. The fractured vertebra
is between my shoulder blades. I fractured it by simply rolling over
in bed to get up. Weak bones are no fun. I’m blaming it on radiation
therapy - one of the two tumors I had was on the back of my rib cage
near this vertebra. (The other was in my right lung.)
Other than that I’m doing well. I’ve moved into a retirement
community and am busy as ever. I delivered “Meals on Wheels” this
morning and have to leave shortly to go accompany the retirement
community chorus practice (you probably didn’t know that I play piano).
Talk to you soon,
Al Fish

How did this happen? Don't ask my wife.
The Wiggle Butt Two Headed Hopper is tied on a Never Snag weedless
hook.

Two things I like about this hook. First: It is weedless. One of
the best ways to fish a hopper is to cast it into the weeds on the
bank and gently tug it into the water. I'm very good at getting my
fly into the weeds. Not so good at getting it out.
Second: The weight of the weedguard makes the fly land and float
upright.
Because of the weight I had to add more foam to keep it floating. A
second head accomplished that. And I think it still looks natural
enough for the fish. I might try using less foam for a slow sinking
hopper. I've heard sunken hoppers sometimes work better that the
floating ones.
