I' kinda the motive for this submission, gang. I asked Don to offer me a short list of the flies that work best for him. The reason being is that Don and I live within 20 miles of each other, as does Rick Goohs. Tony Alexander is even closer to me, but we don't hear from Tony much anymore....

Now, Don fishes A LOT more than I, and does a good job of it. Seems I'm always working or committed elsewhere, So he is the natural go-to Fly Man, in my eyes. I dont know how well these will work for everyone, wherever they may be. But, for my part, this is greatly appreciated, Don.
