PT Canyon Arrow, size 6, with 5mm bead. (In case I had to follow ScottP through all that great cutthroat water!)

Pheasant tail over Aussie, with bugger-wrapped hen. Got a sweet new tail. Pheasant mightier than Squirrel.

Still haven’t actually caught much with one.

Craw. I like the FNF creeper chenille but it adds a lot of bulk when wrapped. On this fly, I tied it in at the bend, tied some furry foam on at the same time, tied the rest of the fly and then stretched them to the eye and tied them off, creeper on bottom and furry foam on top.

Definitely.

It goes real slow with the hammer down,
It’s the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown.

Well, I need to use a bigger dumbell (or two of these small brass ones) because it rides hook point down in the water. But it got a lot of attention from the small bass and big pumpkinseeds!

Size 6…I can fit ten of them on the palm of my hand without stacking

Oh, ok. It looks so much bigger in the pic. Almost like clarkman was doing one for his Tigers

That's a lot to get on a hook. Looks good.

I’d probably drop it in the river before even tying it on

Bet it won’t sink though!

Fair. But I’ll probably dislocate my shoulder chasing it down the river.

The healing of which would take me approximately the same amount of time as it would to tie that complex beast!
