While fishing a nearby lake and watching the fish rise and
ignore my gurgler, I scanned the water for the The secret fly.
I didn't notice anything except a lightning bug struggling on
the surface. Probably a fluke. It was only a few minutes later
that I spotted another one on the surface. Now when I see
more than one bug, it makes me think.
I was too lazy to adjust the leader for a smaller fly, and I'm
not sure whether I had a suitable immitation anyway so I
didn't get to do the experiment.
However, I thought I should be readly next time with a
Lightning bug. I'll let you know how things work out, but for
now, here is the Firefly.
