Hi Charlie, Sorry about fowarding your earlier message back to the group before adding my questions below. Fingers are just moving too fast today I guess.
I'm intrigued to hear about the propeller-head fly you used on the Stilly. Some German flyfishers I ran into up in Alaska a couple years ago were using propeller flies to really tear up the coho holding in a tidal estuary before heading upstream to spawn (the coho, not the Germans ;-) Where'd you find the little propellers to tie 'em with? Do you put something hard (like a bead) right behind the propeller to let it spin freely and keep it from cutting into the thread head? Thanks, Kent Lufkin >Fished the lower Stilly from 12 to 4 today thinking the silvers would be in >by now. What did I find?

The gear guys just off my shoulder (those guys love to >fish close) seemed to land them non-stop for about an hour, got tired and >left.. > Fly of the day�.
