I can’t spin deer hair for shit. I once tied a couple of Galloup’s “Zoo Cougars,” but I never fished them knowing that the $6.50 chugger they stuck next to would have a hard time making friends if I lost ‘em. Foam won’t replace the Zoo Cougar, but these tube frogs love to kiss.

Boring, but sexy if you get off on eye strain. I doubt I’ll wanna trade my 3wt for an 8wt, but I tied some flies for ‘bow-hungry Striper. Way [...]
