    van is loaded. i put in a fly rod for doing demos if we have enough workers to cover regular casting. we could probably get some young workers to run the felt fish . i missed one event and it just made the whole summer feel weird . i saw dan basore on monday and he will be there

    for years it was the sneaky pete. then came the gurgler. i have found the stealth bomber to be too foamy as the fly will move when a fish rushes it= more misses. i have seen the jude bug just catch fish after fish. funny but for shabbona ,sliders and divers work best in the am and poppers in the pm. same goes for spinnerbaits in the am and buzzers at pm. been that way for years

    or you can try a floating jighead. the phelps floaters have been used as a topwater flyby adding legs and a tail.

    before you even take him or her rig up a bobber ,practice plug or lure with no hooks and practice casting to a bucket start short then longer . you can get then to practice by themselves . once they have confidence in casting the rest is easier

    you can use the steel brush but it is overkill i prefer a velcro tab on a stick

    next thursday 4 -19 is our fly tying session at dupage fly 6pm. i will be instructing on tying the action worm using eyelash yarn . the small version is a great imitation of a ned rig . mid size is a worm or minnow pattern depending on how it is trimmed. a large version is just like the dragontail used on musky flies . for the fans of the ned rig come on out and bring some mushroom heads . i will have a clear container with water so you can see the action when wet .

    i cant judge the two of you because i havnt seen jude dance yet. very close as terry can dance and jude has a bug named after him. if there was a fishing challenge i would favor terry in cold water [tube jigs] and jude in warm water [jude bug , chug bug ]
