i have not had a chance to fish your bugs yet.but the shape did strike me.i tie a smallmouth fly out of estaz ,a mylar chenille type product.i taper the body like that and use a marabou tail.itie a large heavy collar of red hackle behind the hook eye and load it with head cement.the shape causes the fly to swim.tooty i think people miss the point that flies are not just pretty do nothing bug imitations they are engineered to act a certain way.in my case i try to give my flys a bug like texture.so when they bite it feels like a bug

My hearing is the same, with more than one conversation going on, I cannot hear what is being said. I sometimes lip read to compensate. We have yearly hearing tests at work ,but they always say I am "within range", whatever that is suppose to mean. I guess when I am all but totally deaf, I will be out of range.

Mine was from work but the doctors said it was from the service but at any rate it happened and we have to work through it as well as we can. One on one is ok but in a room full of people and so many people talking I'm lost can't make anything out.

LOL Dick, my hearing isn't worth a hoot anymore either, and I have also been diagnosed by my wife as having selective hearing. I guess so many years of working in loud engine rooms has taken it's tole on me.
