I don’t know Chick, at my advanced age I can only come up with one or two good ideas a week! I’ll take a trip thru my music library and see what I can find. Hope you like blues (and I believe you do) cause my library is REAL heavy in that area.

FFFG-FirefightingfishingGuy:
I agree with your choice of flies. I fish he Missori river and purple is my first choice. I don’t have any idea why it works, all I know is it catches fish. I don’t know if you chose the fly because it was purple, but that why the fish chose it. Nice catch

purple was definitly the draw!!! it certainly does work doesn't it. makes a purple sharpie a "must-have" in the boat

I like this line of thinking Harry!

Ride The River. good one! I’ve created a playlist in itunes to collect songs for training. Ride the River is the first one in

open to other ideas?

OK, just want to keep the facts straight here on fly choices. Not sure I would have used that flying ant though.

By the way I think Team Paddlefish deserves a theme song on your page. I suggest Ride the River from Clapton and Cale’s album The Road to Escondido.

harry– you’re right. this story is somewhat one-sided. to be fair the professor was very excited that they fly worked as well as it did. in hindsight, the fishing was just really turned on for a few hours. after that it shut off and we were trying anything & everything including some obscure hoppers from deep in the box and a flying ant I found on the floor of a campground latrine

otis– lingering memories of the summer’s success with the purple haze was no doubt exactly what drew me to this purplish fly. and yes….nothing but love for beartooth. they are the real deal

Beartooth is the Best. A little PURPLE HAZE is good for all, including the Young Sid Prof. Congrats FFC.

I feel compelled to give the Professor some help on this one so I must ask- How many were caught using “the one fly” on the rest of the trip?

Sweet! I love the Madison. I need to try out that inversion table, too. Good post!
