Ah Ha! New word for the day.

Tangential: "divergent or digressive, as from a subject under consideration: tangential remarks." (dictionary dot com)

Not only is this thread entertaining, but, educational!!!

I think that between this thread and the "Sage One" thread you can learn all you'll ever need to know about flyfishing!



Fish on...

Todd

Provided you don't intend to actually fly fish.

Sg

And then some.

So true. For some, there can be a difference. NTTAWWT.

Doc?

WTF?

stam-

It took me a minute, but.................

It's okay, salmo, you just need to get yourself a translator

There's definitely a difference between "flyfishing" and "fishing with flies"...but the difference is more stark between "flyfishing" and "fly casting"...even when the "fly casting" is done on a river, with a fly.

Fish on...

Todd

Last word!

Don't think I ever had that with Todd before.

Neither has anyone else.

Today's word of the day is

immutable.

I had to look it up.

Good one.

Pardon the resurrection.

Bantam's Pinktruder, the final installment.



That is it Luis, I am done and the final batch is in the mail. I am not tying another intruder for a long, long time

You better catch something on one of these after all you have put us through.

No. I am over tying things, trimming things, and organizing things. I am ready for the ice to melt and the water to come back.

For the record, I think Avid is into the cripples (especially the older ones) not me.

Those look pretty nice there Coley.

Maybe you should take up rod building

Pinktruder be good. Pink and purple combo be good too. Coley, I'm finding I'm needing some large but unweighted patterns. Got any without the dumbell eyes? I literally ran out the other day, and I hate running out of bait. Either I have to tie the next few nights, or use a floating line and long leader next week to use the weighted -truders I have.

You guys read the part where I said I was going to put my vise into a dark corner and ignore it for a long time right?

If'n your serious and not just mocking me, I might be able to come up with a few more before going into retirement. For Bantam's I tied half with 3/16" I-ballz and half with bead chain eyes, which are quite a bit lighter. I don't have any unweighted on-hand, but could change that without too much headache.

Stam, you shoppin for spring plans or fall plans? I will get a care package together for you.

Salmo's Purple and Pink lightweight-truder?

Good looking bait there, my friend. That dog will hunt!

I've been putting 3 or 4 strips of purplish-pink flashabou down each side, and wow!, that adds a lot of flash to the fly.

Good idea about the bead chain, like with bonefish flies, keeps the attraction that eyes add without significant weight. I shoulda' thought of that.
