Re: Fast Water Dry Swap, Fall 2009
Guys, as noted I will be tying up some EHCs for this swap, however they will actually be a fast water foam body EHC. I didn't want to update until I was sure of the concept, but I tied up a couple "test samples" using some yellow foam pinch on indicators - you know the stuff, the little round things that come in a sheet. I dislike these indicators because they always seem to leave a little residue on the line so thay have been sitting on my work bench in the garage until this weekend.
In any case, they work, they stay floating even in the fast water below the riffles, so I purchased some tan foam sheets, tied up two for my box, gonna try them out on the Truckee tomorrow or Tuesday just to be sure (my wife says it is just an excuse to go fishing).
In any case, tan foam body, elk hair wing and a grizzley hackle - I will be getting this tied up over for the swap over the next week or so.
