Showtime

Spent the weekend tying flies at the Murfreesboro, AR, FF'ing show. Had a great time, met some new friends, and got to sample some new water. I must confess that I was amazed that the trout there are no larger than they are. The aquatic life in this tailwater is remarkable. Stones, damsels, dragons, hellgramites, crayfish, several mayflies, true worms of several species, chironomids, and more. The fish appear to have plenty to eat.
Now I need to get ready for the SowBug Roundup. This is the big show of the year for me. I see lots of friends here that I only get to visit once a year, and it's one of the more enjoyable shows going. I believe this will be year #10 for the SowBug, and I've been there from the first.
