8^) When I left driftfishing in about 1980 to go to school, and then came back in about 1995, I found that the boundaries had blurred so much I did not recognize them, and they have blurred even more.

Here were hardware flingers using fly gear , and fly guys using fluorescent stuff called "articulated egg sucking leaches," or some such terms.

Oh really? Anybody seen any egg sucking leaches lately? And don't they look a lot like yarn? Pretty sure there is no hatch to match anywhere close to there. But, it is not important. IMO, if we can learn about these metal heeded wonders and how to be better fishers. So I tie up egg sucking leaches and am sorting out nymphs.

So, 2 questions: 1) How big do nymphs for steelies need to be?
and 2) Sg, is it true?
Congratulations if so.

PS: Great book: "BugWater" by Arlen Thomason More than we can absorb in 10 years about bugs.

Sg's history is good to know and I get ragged on for relating history. History is prologue.
So, I ask, how do we get better at fishing Nymphs for Steelies?
does this make me cheap? 8^)
