Hey Fly Tiers...What's In The Vise?

[trapper2000]

good idea  legend

[rgfixit]

There's flocks of feathered rats (aka geese) everywhere around me. A short walk along the canal in Macedon will yield a bag full of flight feathers suitable for biots and such.

Materials are everywhere

Got to the bench today with an idea for a topwater foam mouse kind of thing.

RG's Gurgle Mouse



Might work 

I'll find out as soon as I get my truck back from the garage.

Looks good to me!

Looks good Rg, but I tend to think small fish would drive ya nuts nippin' at that long tail.

maybe he's trying to get rid of a bass being a pest to gills it what I would do?  scare off the bass so gills can thrive? or maybe he's bass fishing for now?

I'll let you all know how they work tomorrow. I'm doing a garage sale again today. My guess I'd that the bass will explode on those flies........if I present them right.

I'm just having some fun at the bench while I'm recuperating.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that! I'm still waiting on that Cabela's CGR 7' 4/5wt glass rod I ordered in June. They said it would be on backorder til August... gonna do some pond fishin' with that when it finally gets here.

I was thinking a big 'ol Brown on the right river bend. ....   

[rgfixit]

I'm sure they'd eat them too. I'm boat bound for a While yet while my belly heals, so I'll just chase some warm water targets.

I'll be out early in the AM. Can't wait to hear the old outboard purr

that or a trailer hook in the tail?

[trapper2000]

could work but a trailer hook on a fly is more work then it's worth most times

[rgfixit]

I did get out early the other day. Water temp was 81 degrees. Nothing was moving. Managed a couple smallish bass and a few gills. No topwater activity at all.
