All Wet With Dr. Stan

For some reason or other I have really been into wet flies. I have no idea why. In the past I have fish mainly dry flies. Not because I am one of those dry fly snobs. It's just that I liked seeing the fish actually take the fly. I know it not the most productive way to fly fish but I enjoyed it. But for some reason I am wanting to fish a lot of wet flies right along side my dry flies. So I better get tying up a few more wet flies besides just the soft hackles I have tied. Well since the Hendrickson hatch is the first big hatch of the season here I guess that is a great place to start.

Now that I know what I want to tie what do I want to listen to. How about a little live Moe.? Moe. is one of those bands that just knows how to jam. OK now which album so I listen to? AH yes Dr. Stan's Prescription Volume 1 should fit the bill nicely. This album has several fantastic jams and even a nice little tease with the Grateful Dead's Turn on Your Love Light. With the tunes in the CD player and the materials all out lets get to a little tying.
