Well Rick, I am real. Can't help you much with those tube flies. I don't waste my time tying them. I get just as good results with Clouser Minnows, easier to tie and very little material is used in them. I climbed down the hill right by the dumpster in the parking lot when you pay your $4 (UGH!). Walked all the way uo the west bank till I got to that area I was describing to you earlier. Crossed the river and made my way back to the truck and crossed back over. I tried several wooly things. The last was a Chili Pepper (perfected by Tony Spezio). It is almost Root beer. I tie it with a dark to burnt orange chenille and a brown hackle palmered. with a burnt orange tail. These have a brass bead head. I have several flies that are bright and attractive that I tried. Most of them were soft hackles. Brought two rods and tossed a deer hair frog. I bought this one as I don't waste time with real hard to tie flies. Saw a few jump but could never get them to bite. Do you know if there are carp in there? That is what may have been jumping. BTW I didn't run into any cactii.....     Alan Di Somma Phoenix,Az.   http://www.azod.com http://www.azflycasters.org/ http://www.wmonline.com/attract/lakes.htm http://www.wmonline.com/attract/streams.htm   "Things you might already know" Marriage is like taking a hot bath.

Where did you end up at? Just wondering, I read your report to Jimi, sounded like the only thing you missed is running out of gas & a flat tire! ! ! Sounds like the luck wasn't the best, (did you try my Uncle Roys "Rootbeer Woolyworm")? Please, fill me in on the adventure. Hopefully you are still on the net, I will be waiting on bobbins & bodkins to hear! I'm gonna be sittin hear at my bench, (the computer is right next to me) I am working on trying to get the hang of perfecting tube bodies & makin em look like minnows, any advise is always welcome. We still need to get together & finally meet! ( Just so I will know you are real! ) Rick-AZ
