Now that I think about it (I had to check), I won that month, LOL.

I think I'm still waiting for my prize because I don't remember receiving it.

what about just Nymphs ?? either lake or river specific ones, We could do river nymphs only or do lake only or both.

We did a Hares Ear in Sept of last year but that was pretty specific, so I'd go for a "general" nymph FOTM, for sure.

Lets do stickle back or bait fish impressions for stillwater.

This one leaves me out.

 

[johnk]

This one leaves me out.

Kinda leaves me out too but I will submit a baitfish pattern. That's almost a minnow, isn't it?

Here's an epoxy minnow pattern I have been working on lately, trying to imitate the pink fry that will be flooding our waters any day now.

Thread: White
Tail: Two pieces of pearl flashabou sandwiched between two tufts of mallard flank
Body: Two lengths of fine silver mylar
Back: Green metallic powder mixed into hard as nails and brushed on, then covered in epoxy.

i know what you mean with which one to pick. luckily for me it's an easy choice. just tie it to look better than luckys.
