He was visiting an old friend from the armed forces in Manitoba. We live in the coast mountains so when they were sitting on the back porch at his friends farm his buddy said, "isn't this view fantastic". Mike says "what the hell are you looking at; there is nothing to see". A few years later Mike's prarie buddy was visiting here in the mountains, they were sitting on the back porch surrounded by mountains. Mike asks him what he thinks of the view. Buddy says "how the hell can I tell, I can't see anything with all these mountains in the way'.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17651985760686750756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243260444647316860.post-13763056015144677482010-06-15T15:00:32.504-07:002010-06-15T15:00:32.504-07:00Hi Eric, when I fish the Balanced Leech/Chironomid...Hi Eric, when I fish the Balanced Leech/Chironomid combo the Balanced Leech is always on the bottom. I hang the chironomid off a separate dropper further up the leader.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the article. We are already working on plans for a fall trip. Let me know if you are interested in attending. Fall in the Parklands is typically spectacular!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />PhilPhil Rowleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322344312137491092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243260444647316860.post-31654553166390613452010-06-12T14:05:14.524-07:002010-06-12T14:05:14.524-07:00Excellent article, thanks Phil! I have a question...Excellent article, thanks Phil! I have a question for you though. When you use a balanced micro leech and a dropper chironomid do you tie the bottom fly into the eye of upper fly? Seems like the weight of a bottom fly on the bend of a balanced fly would take away the benefit of a balanced pattern.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15421442137976382408noreply@blogger.com
