Been picking up the 11" paddles to run with the 6" ITO flies. Been in talks with him for over a year. Has some good ideas from another big pond. He has some great combos on his website. Has some nice dolphins colors and last longer compared to the competition. I will be using ITO flies for 3 years this spring, its all I use. I caught tons of fish on chrome spinny and a golden green or green crinkle, always a hot ticket. Remember white on white and green on green. Never go wrong with either one.
