    Thanks Tim, I found it practical. Moreover, I think I found the perfect Christmas present for the Sensei who has everything – the “EZ-P Zipper.” Very fashionable.

    Hey Bill,
    Finding gear sale announcements on the calendar is a little tricky. It shows up on just one day of the month, whichever day the poster chooses for the post. Bob’s post was dated July 31. You will find in on the calendar on that day.

    Hope you are staying cool,

    OK, I am embarrassed. Don’t ask.

    The stonefly under an indicator has been effective on the Meramec River for the last couple weeks. You got to be deep – another reason to fish it under and indicator (with ample weight).

    Kenny, I just came across this podcast on the driftless area.

    I echo Mike’s appreciation for the schooling by everyone. Wow, what a gush of info. This hobby keeps presenting new facets to explore. While there is much more to share on this subject, what subject is next, maybe streamers?

    Thanks for all the input from everyone. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Tim, Thanks for persevering with your post of Czech nymphs! Nice dots there buddy.

    Maybe I am mixing up my nymphing terminology. Please expand as I don’t know what I might be missing. What I am looking for are flies with tungsten beads to be used as the bottom fly in a two-fly nymphing rig.

    “Bobbers”??? seriously Sid?? Yeah, we call them that when Kenny can’t hear us, but putting it on the forum…I think you just poked the bear (Sensei). Better duck. 🙂

    The Sensei will also tell you to place the indicator wherever it needs to be (but not on the fly line) to get your fly/flies down just above the bottom. So, how do you know precisely where THAT is? You keep adjusting it until you indicator tells you that your fly/flies are dragging the bottom. Then, move the indicator down a couple inches. Now you should be really close to where you want to be. Naturally, you have to keep adjusting the indicator as you move from spot to spot as water speed and depth change.

    Hi Bill,
    This one has worked great for me.

    The only draw back is that it is not (easily) portable.

    Kenny, you must be frozen solid over there to come up with an idea like that.
    But, seriously, I stopped by Feathercraft yesterday to look at their peacock herl. I could quickly see the differences in the colors of different packets of herl. Lesson here: Don’t mail-order this item, buy it where you can pick out the best pack.

    Boom! Thanks Dave! With all this input, we all should be tying radioactive looking peacock herl on our flies. Now, any tips on choosing good quality herl? Do you need to get a full feather, or just look for packs of herl with lots of color?

    Wow, great advice from all. I will give those ideas a shot. Thanks much!
