Still at it? Ran out of good names but figgered I might say that the fluttering hairwing version looks like its getting ready to fly away and these are strong flyers and trout know it and seldom attempt to eat them if they look too healthy. Hairwings take the odd fish if you insist on fishing dry, but if you hammer it out with a wetfly version you may see a better grade of fish. Try a clump wing of mottled turkey tail feather fibers; one turn of pheasant church window in front of the wing, then a turn of natural dark gray wool dubbing in front of the legs. Fish it dead-drift, wet. Individuals of these pupate and swim from the bottom as adults, so a Leisenring Lift at the end of the drift brings strikes. Good lookin hairwing though.

One las shot at da book. If nothing else the exercise will serve to connect me with the brain prose center, and propell me toward the more important writing waiting on my dark desk. Though I prefer the more discriptive Saxon names, looks like those are pretty well covered, except for just this one: Orange Caddiddle (the second half being Gaelic in origin). Other than that the only names that come to mind are latin. I’ll submit just three, all with the same Saxon first name so that they might be a little more earthy:
Drunken Discoursmocus
leading to -
Drunken Decumscumus
the end result -
Drunken Discustmocus

Since politics is on us for the next two years, and since you are so political fighting for conservation:

How about the “October Surprise”?

I know, not vulgar or catchy enough, but if you stare at it long enough . . . .
