That is a very nice photo, don't see many bluegills around here like that.

Where do I enter "LIKE"

Beautiful water Sith, I'll bet they are very productive to fish.

I never thought about that book " The Rough Steam Nymph" for a reference on double hackles. I've read the book a few times and it never picked up on it.

In Douglas C. Townsend's book Fly-tying with Harold Howorth (1980) They list a few double hackled flys. This being a hen or rooster hackle and a game bird hackle tyed one in front of the other. Tyers choice as to which or pattern demands. I think they're cool, I keep a few in my fly boxes.

In the U.K that would be referred to as a "Daddy" or "Hopper" as used mostly on still waters.

Otter, I'll miss your posts/stories. Do what you have to do & come back when you can.

That is an interesting video. Neat stuff

Yep! the P&O is neat as a pin Hans.

Call me simple but I liked the whole set
