these were pike/musky flies from Aug
no razor, so the deer was cut by hand
everything 5/0 and over 6in

top right wool head got the big fish
after only a day or so, it became this...

I have a couple barrel swivels some line and 3 hooks in there too............and a lil peice of wd40 straw (nail knot)...........boy scout.

For an osprey i don't fly much , but now that you mention it , the last time i flew was in 05 and i had all that stuff in there long before that , no one said a word but then things have gotten a lot tighter i guess , i'll have to remember that THANKS.

I anm back from the catskills and bucks co., all the water is very hard except the west branch, to high to fish. besides with all the salt runnin off the roads all i could hope for is a few bluefish...lol..... So I went to see Eddie..
