Ed, Dr. D and Buggs snuck into my fly room when I was outside. They just couldn't wait for me. They did tie up some cool cool patterns, for being novices. They came up with about 9 patterns that I think a couple of have a good chance of being the hot ticket. But one never knows until it gets presented to some fish.
I took a photo and am sending it off list directly to you. Buggs and Dr. D are really proud of these, and Buggs wants you to pick the winner. If you get it right, Buggs says you can have the recipe. Better bone up on your rope-dubbing, tho, because all of them are roped. Dr. D taught Buggs, and he got pretty good.
