BWCA Prep

The drab, but effective basics - all heavily weighted with underwrap and conehead or DB eyes:




Last year the clouser was highly effective. See the milk run 2007 report. I lost seven clousers in a period of 1-2 hours I think... so this year, I'm bringing no fewer than 1.5 dozen - aka 18 - clouser minnows. All on tough hooks, finished with Gorilla Glue. A few include some interesting variation - including rattles tied in... and this "clickety" deal here - copyright Tim Holschlag's book.



I smell a RAT... a yellow and orange highlighted RAT ready to have his ass eaten by Micropterus dolomieu!


Between BWCA prep and the carp swap I've probably tied 50 flies in the past 10 days... still need to pound out more.
