Cecil, I�ve got to �eat crow� about foam/vs. �real�ph pellet flies.
Do I eat with mustard or ketchup � or is that when you have to �eat your own words? \:D

Anyway�.this morning I tried again your version ph fly at HSB �grow �out� pond for transfer to main pond, after much frustration with numerous un-successful attempts with the foam version.

I have some huge �cull� Arkansas strain CNBG in this pond that I removed from main pond. They have intimidated the HSB stockers into complete submission and won�t take anything short of dynamite � so I tried your version on them

Caught 5, 10-11 inch HSB stockers on 10 of your flies, but couldn�t keep the small BG�s off them�
They work...

Went to main pond and caught 10 or 12 HSB 2 - ~5# on foam ph flies tho�.!!! :p

I�ll tie up a bunch of your version for next week�s �transfer fish� because they don�t last long with HSB�
Thanks..
