FINALLY!! Someone ELSE, that gets "more fun out of fly fishing, than "just the fishing"!! GREAT story, too!!
Now, "being of the type" surely some of us are, besides just brookieaddict and myself............. I, also, love doing such things on odd occasions. Except, my affliction has more to do with the "rude and un=sportsman", fishers always found amongst us.
When someone comes "splashing into my pool", I'm either resting or fishing" and acts like "We've been bestest buds for 20 years" they'll invariably ask me.......... SO! What's ya' using? I saw, from down below, that you've hooked a quite a few!?!"
Or, when those arrive stream side that move right along side me when the area I'm in is barely big enough to roll cast in..................... and THEN start up the "whatyausin" conversation"..................
Well, in one special little pocket of my vest.........is a special little plastic 4 compartment fly box. AND IN, this fly box are my; very secretive...... "Oh! I'm using one of THESE", flies that I then offer so kindly to the offending jerks!!
Of course, my true fly is kept from site, usually in the stream as we talk and I give away my "secret killer fly".
I truly don't KNOW.......... if it's the facial expressions, these guys give me, when I hand them this fly, OR the fact I love thinking about "how they're going to waste the next hour or more, actually FISHING with my hand out fly, because they HAD seen me hook and land fish with it, after all, right!??
Well, "The Fly for Jerks", is very easily tied, if you'd like to give them a try.................... tie up a bunch of your favorite patterns. Then, when done tying........ take a #12 hook, like a Limerick, etc. cover it with head cement, then with tweezers.......... stab it down, into your wastrol basket of tying debris!! Allow the fly to dry, then place into a fly box and WAIT for the next, offending, jerk to come along and mess up tour fishing!?!! :-D
