May get to go Saturday for a while.  The Genny won't be good for some time now, maybe the other tribs will hold their water . Today would be perfect, except for the icy guides, but I can't swing it.

  Tasty looking isn't it ?  1/0 Gamakatsu Octopus.....Do you need a 1/0?  Of course not but this was the hook that worked best for me this year on the SR.

A mulberry cluster fly!

Need a bunch of Mucilin to keep it afloat.

Though I've found after a week or two, my lone Mulberry carp herd gets wary and slow sinking flies work better. I'd rather get them up top, cloopers are rare for me. I do have a river where they go nuts on a Dorothea sulfur hatch.

Seeing  Guide reports talking bout blue sacs on Steel-even now.
 Generally use Stones or small Estaz the few times I go in Winter buttt  love blue sacs earlier and in Spring- Hmmm perhaps next week
 Small Blue sacs on the 5 wt----????

Richard Harrington, the artist, used to tie a white deer hair bug, trim it to square, and color one side with a tan Pantone marker.  Looked just like a piece of Wonder Bread on the water.  Because so many people fed ducks upstream on the canal in Pittsford, the fish behind the Orvis shop were conditioned to floating bread, so this was killer carp fly when nothing else was "hatching."

How about a sucker spawn on a dry fly hook? Or even just some white or cream glo bug yarn tied in to a larger dry fly hook? Why take the time to spin deer hair?

And of course to not get too off topic it should be on a 1/0 dry fly hook ;)

or... Just wrap a 1/0 in wonder bread..

hot tuna
or... Just wrap a 1/0 in wonder bread..

But what would the fly snobs of the world think of that???? Lol
