I'm going to be making a two week fly fishing trip to Yellowstone later in the summer and was wondering if anyone knew if there were any locations that I could go and see some wild CPs. Seemed like an awesome place to look at some if I got a shot. :awesome:

A while ago I was given a nearly finished remote controlled sailplane. All I had left to do was install the electronics and cover it. Well, I was reading up about the old silk covering method, and thought I ought to give it a whirl. The only difference was that I tie dyed the silk. The maiden...

So, bought one, a month ago, about 2 inches across... Has been growing very nicely except for one thing... I seems to have what I would call an eating disorder... In the month that I've had it, it only trapped a fly on it's own, but then the trap became brown and rotten-ish, so I separated it...
