in college, the 2 summers I spent away from the lake were: 1. working in Yellowstone NP and learning to flyfish, and 2. working in Bham at a fly shop.  I learned to tie there.  I think they were summers extremely well spent.  I can really see myself opening up a shop when I retire or win the lottery, whichever comes first.

the only fly I have ever come up for the lake that worked was a huge hexagenia nymph on a thin wire bent back hook.  I out caught my dad 3 to 1 - he was using poppers - at dusk in a mayfly hatch just south of the RR trestle.  I am still trying to find a good minnow pattern that can replicate the spot tails around Kowaliga, without being too bulky to cast.  I think it should go on a saltwater bent back hook but I can't get the spot right, although I haven't tried in quite a while.  My initial thought was to have my vise set up at my RE office and I could tie there when I had time, but.....

Sandy T - if you like fly of the month type clubs, I think a good one is at R and R Flyfishing.  They are really good guides out of Townsend, Tn.  Their fly of the month comes with a write up that explains how to tie it, usage, etc.  See link below.
