Re: Winged Wet Flies
#20I hate to post a fly after Norm has shown his but I did this White Miller for a Facebook swap. The swap is for panfish flies. When I lived in IL there was a farm pond down toward Kankeekee that had 'gills so big you'd swear every other one it had to be a bass. Regular 'gills from a pound to two and you had to hold them by the belly since your hand wouldn't reach around their girth. We didn't stop to admire one until you could lay it on your palm and the tail would cover up your watch. Two years this was a near secret super honey hole for a couple of us until someone on the highway stopped watched us without our paying attention. Next time we went the place was ringed with bait fishermen and was never the same again.
