| Fishing Tips |
| Oh boy....This one can be fished in so many sizes and situations. Sometimes I even substitue the brown hackles for different hackle combinations like: medium blue dun and brown , yellow, green and yellow. When I was up in Michigan this past summer I went fishing with Phil Rassi a couple of times and the fly that I used the most was the Goddard. I think that it was very effetive because of the strong silhouette that it presents to the trout. It can also be fished as a dropper in many instances. Don't forget that it floats very well because of the deer hair. |
