"November Song" "SOME DAYS unfold slowly. Listen carefully and you may catch the rhythm, enjoy the tune. This morning, I woke to the sound of honking, as a squadron of geese reconnoiters the lake north of our house. Outside the bedroom window, the leaves of a maple burned red against an ashen sky." So begins Bob Romano's new ode to the change of seasons, "November Song." Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie Ed Engle’s Bubble Wing BWO Emerger in this week's featured tying video. Says Ed Engle himself: "Typically I’ll tie this fly down to size 22. If you’re going to do that, you want the bead to be in proportion and you’d have to go to an extra-small silver lined bead. You can also tie it up – tie it in larger sizes up to a 14." NEW: NOVEMBER GEAR GIVEAWAY!
