Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} I'm getting old and my arms are too short

Thanks, Art.  That's why I tie a pink foam beetle.  They really pop with the Costa copper lenses, and with a peacock ice dub underbody, the fish don't know they are pink.  They work great on top and as an indicator for the dropper. 

It's just tying the flies on that's getting more difficult. I don't want to move to a bifocal because I've read about people having wading mis-steps when they look through the magnified bottom part of their lenses. I'm hoping someone here has found a solution they're happy with.  


Cheers,

-- Greg

I know some guys that fish two dries all the time for that very reason. If you have two it's much easier for you find them in the water.

Lots of decent sized eager bookies willing to take a foam beetle or a stimulator on top or a zebra midge on the dropper and a couple of browns on the Conway, too. Put the lo-4wd to the test on the new Chevy Colorado, so that was fun as well.
