That sounds a lot like the very common baitfish, whonoseius whocaresius . No one has actually ever seen a living example but since the stripers eat them so readily they must be a staple in their diet.

Do you have my mailing address?? Arne, Rene was correct, I was out fishing! Didn't get too much, but it beats being at work. I'd love to have you on board as a replacement tyer if anybody drops out or is unable to tie flies for any reason. I will let you know if that happens. I am thinking of doing a few more swaps in the near future, so I'll let you know about those as well. Mark, I'll shoot you an e-mail when I get them. Mine are ready to be fished!!! Clouser Swappers, I had 6 rockfish (striped bass, stripers) in about 30 minutes on my clouser fly. Biggest was approximatly 20 inches. We call it a "baby striper" pattern, but honestly I have no clue what baitfish it's resembling. Maybe if someone is very proficient in baitfish identification they could help identify. White/silver belly with a light line of chartruse where the lateral line would be, and then a purple back to it. About 1-2 inches long.

My last name ends with 'mann', see the double n. The translation of mann is man. Therefore my name (and email addy) is often miss-written with one n. That's the usual mistake.
