June and July FOTM

We are behind and I will try my best to catch us up. Any suggestions on what you would like to see tied?

I have a pattern that I will be tying I found online. I will be glad to share with everyone and post a link to the originator.

Will that work Mike?

As well, would love a good deer hair pattern (Zoo Cougar) as this is an area for me I haven't ventured into too heavy.

Sounds good and I'll do a ZC.

I would do something, but I put my camera in the top "panty hose material" pocket on my new Simms G4-Z waders, caught a good fish on the Elk, unzipped the pocket, took out the camera, I pushed the button and it didn't turn on, looked at camera and about a quart of water was running out of it :D

I also found out some of the holes I could wade through in the past at 70 CFS, with 200 CFS it's over my waders, before I had these new waders, always kept the camera in shirt pocket, I better go back to my shirt pocket.

What about those Olympus waterproof jobs I hear you guys speak of from time to time.

Not this time, i let a couple of friends take it on a stretch of crick in NE TN cause the guy i was fishing with had his. When we met up later, he told me when i see the pic of an shot that was of nothing but air & water, it was the camera on it's way into the water, he couldn't believe it was actually water & shockproof :D
