Chuck, Terry used the Bully Spider in Yellow for a short while. I saw a lot of swirls on it but no takes. The fishing was rough because of the warm low water. It was one of the slowest times I have fished that water. Terry and Lefty did best on the Chili Pepper As I said the main reason we went out was to cast new rods and try the hybrid Chili Pepper. I would not get another chance to try the fly before I have to send them in for the swap. Tony --- Chuck Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
