Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Non common Terrestials and Aquaticbug patterns

I'm not sure why they work or what the fish think they are, but my
confidence fly this Fall has been a bitch creek nymph in sizes 8-12.
At first I thought it was the white legs, but having tried other
patterns with white legs without as much success leaves me
questioning. Perhaps my success with them won't continue in warmer
weather but that's my suggestion. Just wish I could figure out why
they work so well. I've been more or less using the czech nymphing
technique on 4mile run near route 1 and catching huge bluegill,
smallies, catfish, and my first carp :)
