I agree with the hot butt theory (as I'm catching up hereon the fishing stuff....I will not add to unnecessarily to the other bs with seperate mails...my delete key works fine... look for a more detailed report on Corbett Lake, BC coming up). One of the gals on our Corbett Lake outing last week had a small green v-rib, about #16, that had the last 2-3 wraps somehow tinted maroon/red. It was a first cast winner...but hard to tell if it really outfished others as the fish were hitting a broad variety of offerings (pun intended).
--> Hi Leland!! Haven't had much time to fish lately, or write, but I'm workin on getting my priorities back in order. I'm going to post a Corbett report since we fished up there fri-sun last week. Sure would like to hit the Sound in the next couple of weeks... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kent Lufkin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2002 5:17 PM Subject: Re: Hot butt chironomid > Ross, I think there's something to your hot-butt strategy.
