You have it fresh in your head, you'll find it. Try what I thought it could be. Then take it from there., put the work in you'll find it. Or maybe one of the guy's later will help ya. This early, ah!!, look at Troutnuts nice work him & others have posted. That is part fishing on the fly finding, looking, & scraching the top of your head,huh!!!! good luck, later Milt.
