Gentlemen,
Help me out, when I tie a clouser with bucktail the fly has almost no added ‘action’ unless I am stripping the fly.
I like EP stacked wih some crystal flash and yak hair, sometimes a piece of flashabou on each side to make a lateral line.
I’m pretty sure I’m allergic to the dear hair; every time I start working with it my allergies go into a fit.
The plot thickens — more correspondence from mi amigos:
I had heard about a missing man th eother day from Bobby. So today when I was checking the news to see any updates I found out that I actualy know the guy. I took him tarpon fishing last year in South Padre. I recommended that he go to Xcalak and stay with you guys. Whats the word on that down there. Where was he staying? Where did he disappear? Was it by the old old ferry dock?

small world,
he was staying at tierra maya, with 3 other guys, and they took off by themselves, and yes, parked the car near the ferry dock and walked in…he went on by himself and never came back,
no ranson
no buzzards
no signs of struggle
no shoes/clothes/rods…
no nada
and he was a big man.
they looked to three days, helicopters…the works
and then his buds went back to fishing????we think he had some problems to make go away,
Poor guy, probably never knew it was coming.
My uncle owns a place and there are a bunch of gators in the lake.
His response:
“All the locals all say croc attack, but not saying it because they dont want too much media coverage (drug trafficing from Belize) and fisherman turning away. “
Who knows?
UPDATE: I forwarded to a friend who is down there and very much “in the know”:
Was at the Casa Blanca office today. Heard he was eaten by a croc while walking along the mangroves insearch for bones. Ive seen some big ones down there. All apart of the adventure boys. Thats what happens when you go DIY with no clue what the hell your doing.
