Jonn Graham Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have been playing at the vise again. God, I love this fly tying thing. If it was not for my vise, I would be going insane this winter. Here are three flies I have been messing with of late. Above fly is my first attempt at the Davy Wooton Shad. Many of you know this one...........Chernobyl Ant The above fly is one that I just kinda came up with. I know, I know some other tyer has already come up with it, but it is new to me. My attempt was to come up with a fly that was heavy and bulky and would lurk on the bottom and imitate a madtom, sculpin, or anything that lives in the rocks that the smallmouths pounce on. Have not even dropped it into the sink yet as I finished it last night around 10:00. If you want any more details about the flies, you can find them at my blog: http://www.prairiestateoutdoors.com/index.php?streamstalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way how did you stay sane during cold winters before you started tying? Were you nuts from Dec.-Mar.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted January 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ron: I do wonder how I did stay sane back before I started tying. I guess maybe I drank more booze back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
