Rich Bitch

This fly is made in the same manner as the 'Rocky' with the exception of black mink is used as the cross-cut fur. Mink has this incredible sheen to it and it just pulsates in the water. If anyone is wondering where mink can be had, corner me at the next club meeting...

TMC 5263 or 5262 #4-8.
Thread
Black 6/0.
Tail
Black Marabou or Black Arctic Fox

McHugh Minnow

McHugh Lake...Brownies in clear water. A definite challenge. Anyone who has fished McHugh knows that it does not give up trout easily. The Browns herd the minnows and make slashing attacks into the schools......and then they're gone. Or are they? I have found that there are several shoreline points on the lake that the browns will attack and reform over and over again. They also are particular to size and shape of the fly. The minnows in McHugh are not very large and I have always had more luck going small.
