Nice work. Oh by the way someone is selling a boat in the offshore discussion page. You may want to go chastise them for that.

I’ll take one Mike.

I was inspired by clemson’s uniforms tonight, so I tied some of these guys:

“Fishing is alot like sex…when its good,it’s really good, and when its bad, its still pretty good.”

Shadow, that fly will start the season strong but, will fold towards the end. :smiley:

Shadowgrass, a little more orange and maybe some horns. :wink:

you can't curse a fly that good. Or maybe I'm just that badass at hitting them 6 inches off their noses..... :O)

Mike,

How much for six?

Shadow, that is one UGLY fly. I best the reds eat it just to get rid of it.

If you can’t stand behind our soldiers, try standing in front of them.

Mike,
A little input.
They suck.
I caught 4 tonight on one fly and I think they need some work.

The weed guard did not hold up. At least an orvis fly will hold up for several fish.
They take the fly way to quick. I had to pick it up so fast because the first two took it into the gut. I am getting old and I do not have the reaction time to keep the fish from inhaling this fly.

Maybe you can work on this and make a better fly that we can work with.

Pictures to come.

Pictures of the rest and a report to come

Thanks Mike.
Chris.

I agree. I got into fishing to just have another excuse to drink. Not that I needed one. Do you tie any flies that I can just throw out and then just sit on my ass and wait?

Really nice tie, Mike. I might have to get one from you. Ty

PS I actually like the Clemson Crab too. Very creative.

chris,

Your still fishing with the “manufactured” version. When I personally tie them the weed guard holds up much better… As far as the inhalation… can’t help you there… I will get to work on a better fly, and let yall know what I come up with.
