I've hated twitter for quite a while because they don't let you view tweets and accounts unless you're a member.

I don't wanna sign up. I have nothing to say on there.

But I do like to read tweets from hockey reporters and stuff like that.
That's originally all I signed up for but the absolute idiocy on there draws me in sometimes and I can't help but engage lol

She did :laugh:

We hiked Jenny Jump the next day. It was the first time I had been there. I really enjoyed it. Really nice views and since it was Easter we all but had the place to ourselves.
Jenny Jump is a cool place... I hunted there when I was a teenager with a friend...we got there about 4:30 in the morning...and he starts telling me the story of Jenny Jump in the car...I never heard it before that...then we had to walk our separate ways in the pitch black darkness.... I've never been so scared sitting in the woods in the dark in my life. :laugh:

I shot a 6 point that day so I think the spirits of the woods were on my side.

The story of Jenny Jump in case you didn't know m

There is an even scarier story in the NYC suburbs. It’s called My3Sons wife’s sister. It’s subtitled the hag or the harpy

Just tied up a dozen stonefly nymphs for myself ...these things look like turds but they really work. Everything eats them.... it's an old pattern developed in the 1940's... original called a "girdle bug".

Legend has it that a Montana guide Frank McGinnis some time in the late 30's or 40's created the pattern. Back then rubber legs weren't available for fly tying...so the story goes Frank stole the rubber bands out of a women's girdle to make the fly....and the girdle bug was born

perfect... you do smaller ones also, right?
Yeah...this is one of the larger trout fly. Stoneflies are on the big side... Salmon flies which is a type of stonefly that are more prevalent out west but we do have them here are huge...They can be close to 2 inches

Most of my flies are a lot smaller. In the 1/2 to 1/4 inch range..

Then some micro stuff that 2 millimeters and less. But the micro and stoneflies are only a tiny portion of the flies I tie. Most in that 1/2 to 1/4 ranges or 10 millimeters to 6 mm.
