Back in the delta, bass doing just fine!

Hey David
I would make the case that Bass Buggin' with deer hair bugs is in the dry fly purist tradition - kinda like a huge skating sedge. But then that allows Darian to claim the rubber worm as a form of nymphing

That's the truth , my friend - I had the burning urge to toss a Clouser while in the Delta last time ...... But God forbid anyone of you saw me doing something so .... UN-BUGGIN'

Darian chuck a rubber worm ?!? While he's a savage on many levels , I'd bet against it

BTW , sorry 'bout the 'Yankee' comment - pints are on me next time

Well, bass buggin' with deerhair bass bugs can be traced at least as far back as the first quarter of the 20th century and there was probably a greater assortment of deer hair bass bugs available commercially by the 1930s than there is today.

But "nymphing" with plastic worms? Why, there's no history or respectability in that at all. If you're gonna do it, just make sure no one's watching. Might just as well start trailing a live nighcrawler off the bend of your hare's ear nymph. . . .

Hmmmm,.... Wonder where I left my mask
