Hey old man, Re: the weather over here, it's miserable cold. Barely thawing each day in the Coulee
country and not much warmer in Moses lake. Another one of those damn mild but lingering winters.

Re: your flies, you'll need to tye one more: A mayfly nymph that I fish like a chronie and just hammer em during the early part of the hatch.

Tail: 6-8 fibers of gunnie foul body feather
split into two segments with a small ball of dubbin
Body: build a slim taper of any yarn for underbody.
Overwrap with REAL Oak Turkey fibre that has been
treated with Daves Fleximent. Should be VERY whitish with mottled tan highlights
Thorax: Few wraps of peacock herl behind the bead.
Wingcase:Overlay a snip of Oak Turkey.
Head: Small brass bead or clear glass indian seed bead. Tye somma each.

This Calabaetis nymph pattern will outfish all others in E. Wash alkaline lakes where the
nymphs are very pale. Murders em in Chopaka in May & early June.
