Playing around with fish stocking records and found this one interesting. In 1953, American Eels were flown in a lakenin SK. Guess it didn't work :)

The fisheries report was provided by a friend who apparently knows how to deep dive the archives.

Thinking this might work.

Balanced minnow (based of Phil Rowley pattern).

Used my home made alpaca dubbing for the body.

I'm still not really tying yet (that is for winter :)

But had to play with my dubbing mix.
