I guess I’ll have to rename my variant to “Elk Hair Sedge made with deer hair” :D

If you want to raise some froth on a fishing forum, go into the fly tying section and call them man knitters :D :D

Re: Unproven

He will have to live on seaweed, you can’t catch potatoes in the sea.

I name all my flies even if I haven’t fished them. I’ll call them “pile of shite”, “hope it doesn’t fall to bits” and “needs more glue”.

One is a 5 piece, the other one is a 3 piece supposed to be made of a different glass grade. It is sanded, not like the 5p one. However they have exactly the same cha...
