Re: [VFB] rod question and fly question

[Dr. Doug Miller]

Del, I just saw an article on that not more than a week ago.  I'll look for it.  Maybe someone on the list will beat me to it. . .I hope! Had to be either in Fly Tyer, Fly Fisherman, or Fly Rod and Reel.

If so, what would be good for a combo rod for them? Will be using mainly streamers and surface poppers.              Also, I was talking with a guest last night at the hotel. He said that as a boy in Montana, he used to "clean up" wit a floating GRHE. He stated that his Dad tied all of their flies, and that the floater was the most effective one they had. I asked him to describe it and he said it was exactly like an ordinary GRHE, but that it floated just below the film. Has any one heard of such a fly or how it could be done?                                                 Thank You,                                                               Del Delbert (Del) Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Belton, SC My little spot on the River of Life SC Department of Natural Resources Home Page Fly Fishing World.com Home Page
