Still tying and watching YouTube

Now on to "game changers" doing both streamer brush and feather changers, it's a bit of a struggle to start till you get the proper materials that you feel comfortable with. Hen back is the best for feather changers and I have found that Renzitti's "streamer brush" in 1/2" or the 1" will get you where you want for brush changers for trout. If your looking for much larger changers then look for Blain Choccletts (sp.) changer body material but be aware that you'll be tying on much longer spines. If your not sure you'll like to do many of them then opt for a starter pack from Flymen Fishing Co., it has just enough to get started and I'll bet that you have some hen backs just waiting to be used. Another super guy on YouTube is Hopper Juan Ramerze, he ties some of the best and simple small Baetis nymphs that I have seen, easy and very simple materials used. Give him a try and I think you'll like his style. On another note I am still seeing a lot of younger guys that are hell bent on making fly fishing harder than it has to be, do this and do that with crap that is nothing but a 45 year old "high stick" nymphing technique. I do like the new idea of putting the weight on the bottom of the rig with the two flies up from it, that way you should ony loose the weight!? And keep in mind only some guys that fish Penn's use the commercial rig using "3" nymphs there by foul hooking most of their fish! We are seeing robins in the back yard and some flowers pushing up thru the snow, so think better weather to fish midges or olives- soon.
