Thanks for the tips on the strike indicator! I tried it out in my farmpond this evening and caught 4 bass 9-13" and 4 small gills. I had several other hits that I missed and only fished about an hour. I found a smaller cork that I am going to try next time. I think it will cast better on my 5 wt outfit. Dixie you were right about the slit in the float. The float that I used already had a slit and I lost it within a few minutes.

The internet is "something else". Hard to believe that a couple of guys from Fla could help a Ky boy with flyfishing and never even seen each other. To top it off, a Ga guy from another flyfishin board sent me the "leech" fly that I used today.

Thanks again! I can't wait to try it some more this week.
