When you can't fish you do the next best thing.....

[RandyL]

I haven't been out fishing in a couple of months because of health reasons so I have no fishing pictures to share with you guys, but as soon as I gain a little weight and some of my strengh back I will be out there stalking the fish again and the pictures will follow.

Meanwhile I have been making some flys that I will use while fly fishing. I thought I would show you guys what some of them I tied recently look like.

I made these last week :

Here are some more that I made:

CYA on the Water

Very pretty! It's a shame they go into a fish's mouth and get all soggy!

It must feel good to get those things put together.

Sorry to hear about your health problems. I know it takes a lot to keep you off the water. I hope things get better soon.

 

[Susan BAV]

Very cool; thanks for sharing. Glad to hear from you. Hoping you're feel better soon, Randy; take care.

 

[WayneGM]

Thanks for sharing. I've always wanted to try fly fishing but don't know much about it. I use good old fashion "live bait". Sorry to hear about the health problems. Hope you're feeling better and back chasing fish soon.

 

[Curtsmum]

How cool, we have some of those but didn't make them, my husband bought them off ebay.

Would you happen to have something for me? The guy that no matter what, ends up catching damn bluegill. I can be with friends in a boat in the middle of a bass feeding frenzy and watch them catch bass while I catch bluegills.

Tip of the Day:

Use what they are using

I agree with karlynn....those flies are much too nice to get chewed up.

I would pin a couple of them on a sweater, what a fashion statement

Randy I kid you not, I can use the samething they are and still come up with that darn panfish. I gave up fishing because of it.

Ross,
Try having your friend bait your hook. Some feel that fish like some smells and shy away from others. I don't catch a thing, but when my cousin(who my uncle claims could out fish some pros) baits my hook, I haul them in.

Just please, no jokes about fish not liking the way I smell! ....

 

[hensylee]

I love the silver one. You oughta leave off the hook and sell them to the ladies.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

that salt air ought to help you get better. My Key West mother always said it's the BEST medicine.

I do believe there is truth to this RCB.

It just might be your aftershave or some kind of lotion you are using, next time put on some surgical gloves and then you will know.
