Hi John.

I think I may have given you one or two of those wet spinner patterns a couple of years ago in Roscoe.

Tom, for sure!

I completely forgot that I have a copy of Sylvester Nemes book "Spinners". I might have too many books.

Can I ask what crewel wool is? I’ve never seen evidence of fish taking submerged spinners but that means nothing so this is something worth a try.

Love both fly fishing and fly tying, been doing it for a while
But not much good at either

It’s a fine, 2 ply yarn used in needlework. The reason it is/was recommended for fly tying is because the wool is more lustrous than knitting wool. The brand I use is Appleton. It shreds into an exceptional wool dubbing.
