"Flats" Part Five Hundred and Forty-Seven

Well, I will start off by saying I figureg out one problem. Long story short, was fishing with a fly that had the hook broke off at the shank. No wonder I kept pulling it out of every fish’s mouth. Corroded M4 from last year. Looked good from what I could see, but it was corroded down in the material. Rookie pro tip of the week, check old flies more carefully. What a jackass! Went to tie that fly on last night and noticed it. Left another one with Jewelry in his mouth too. I believe I may be in the refining process now.

Yeah be sure you rinse those guys really well every night, I do, if not replace them thats the beauty of tying your own, you can retire them without saying (**() I paid $5 for that, good luck fishing

or tube flies so you can use bronze and switch em out.

he’s pretty white for a fly guy

Now I know who you are :wink: Like I said Bro… let 'em run and don;t horse 'em… lemme know how that fly I gave ya works :wink:
