When you dream something up, create it, then send it to someone who puts in the work and hours. Last year I asked Aaron Letera to blend me up a big bag of this dub to match the popular chenille... He came through and named it pineapple... In a balanced jig or a Blanksaver, it has done great both on a fly rod or an ice rod. Makes it worth while 😁 Melissa Lindsey

November 3/1998 the day before East Blue froze over. Fished till dark in front of the old cabins in front of Wally's Place... Feet were freezing and this crazy guy was duck Kickin his prized Kodiak float tube, flogging a Deifenbaker Special in 6 fow. The Buddy fish finder was beeping away marking fish towards shore. One last cast... One more last cast... Ok this is for sure last cast.... Zing fish on... Elk stew is ready according to Wally shouting from his cabin porch. Walking up to the cabin the half tame local cross Fox is jumping at the trout and yipping his squeally chirps. "Hey check it out Mr Nicklin!" Shoot.. my feet are like ice blocks and I'm starving, smells good let's eat...
Great memories of days long gone
