Fishing time has been a tad scarce lately and the weather this weekend did not help. I did manage to get out long enough to land one small carp locally but for the most part I am living vicariously through others.
I was very excited to read about John Montana and his
first 30 pounder of the year this weekend. First of many hopefully! It also got a nice rush from the following email from
Will Rice about one of the
fly-swap flies he received:
Who tied this fly? And why are fish chasing it down and crushing it? Please tell the tier in question: "Will Rice owes you a brewski..."

PS: feel free to use any of these pics.
Well, that there is the Mello Yellow tied by the DSP's own Nate Taylor (visit Nates
carp fly page with a Mello Yellow Tying Video). And since I certainly don't have any pictures as sweet as this lately, don't mind if I do!

Thanks Will. The fly swap may end up being the coolest thing I ever have done or will do with this blog. Keep the truth alive brother.

I love that fly! Mine are a bit different in that I use a rabbit fur tail, but essentially the same. That off yellow is my favorite color also, I think a rusty yellow is something Niate's been playing with. Way to go! And, the Fly Swap has brought much enjoyment to many McTage, thanks.

Ooooohhhh, you know how I love wabbit. If arctic fox didnt just come in 2 usefull colors and totally inconsistent it just might give wabbit a run for it's money but it just aint so.
DeleteSweet...that is a nice fly!
ReplyDeleteDon't remember if you got one or not. The whole sorting process is a blurr.
DeleteNice pics and fly.
ReplyDeleteNot my fly or my pics but I agree. They are both talented individuals.
