				| Nice pike!  A deer hair streamer?! That's like saying you caught a fish on a plastic lure. You got a name for the pattern?what was the style
 Slider,muddler,clouser,popper,crease fly,sculpin,Single hook?Tandem.. Like PECo asked.Your creation? Or one of Housatonic outfitters?
 Bet it was fun battling that baby.

				| He created a producer! Make him whip you up a few.I would be up all night making different color patterns.Throw in some rattling eyes,flashabou and you've got a deadly fly that will draw aggression strikes. Way to go again.There are some BIGGIES in there between Falls village and the Mass border too.
