[][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Darn it now I have to say what my ugly creations are suppose to represent. I was going to send my flies in a brown bag with no return address. I don't care if you send them back as not to embarrass either you or me. .....[/size][/green][/font] [/reply]
They all represent bugs and other delectible trout snacks. enough said.
Many many of my flys look ugly hence the name scruffy fly. and the few pretty ones I accomplish to tie tend to catch more fish once they start getting chewed up, hence the name scruffy fly. Besides that I am between FG's age and your age. Probably closer to your age. Thus I am getting to the point in my life where I don't care what I look like, hence the name scruffy fly.
I am sure that your size 12 and size 14 flys you are threatening to tie will attract as much attention as what I am tying. There is a famous river near buy where all the pundents say you need a size 20 and smaller but I have caught my fair share of fish on size 6 to size 12 flys. Guys don't believe me when I tell them what I am fishing... until they look. One of my best memories is using a size 12 Royal Wulff there and having a 16 inch rainbow clear the water by a foot and half while snatching it off the water.
Everyone of us has started where you are at.
I do have a better ability to tie small flys than I do the larger flys.
