Graeme, Here in Ireland we use the epoxy midge with a cream or badge hackle to great effect for wild trout on the western lakes.

I remarked that in the UK the vivid orange of a crisp packet is used for the wing buds of a fly . Ashley was able to complete the picture- epoxy midge. I have not had much luck using these flies. Maybe I have been fishing them wrong. Certainly the magazines seem to swear by them but they seem to talking about rainbow fisheries. The wild browns I fish for seem to prefer a fly with a bit more movement - at least a hen hackle. All the best Graeme. -----Original Message----- From: iain short [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 17 January 2003 05:17 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VFB] for Graeme Re:Orange crisp packets. i missed the start of this thread. what fly you using the orange crisp pkt for and how ? iain _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
