Joe,

I'm so glad you got out there to see the hatch, pretty special huh? I can't wait until next year, the damsel hatch is such a cool thing at Lake Davis. Stock up on snails and Jay Fair's brown wiggle tails for the fall gorge - last week in Oct can be really good (time change.)

Mike - Your blood midge pattern has done some good this year, I like it as it is SO simple. Dad did well on your wiggle damsel this year, since he can't cast far anymore I had him use a 9ft 6wt. fly rod with a spin reel and a water bobber - he could cast a mile and get into the fish - all smiles! Thanks again for sending me some flies.
