I spent my afternoon today at my vise next to my TV. My background noise of choice? America's Next Top Model. This probably was the cause of my creations of the day. They weren't bad, they were just a little on the wild side. Green streamers (above), gold/red stoneflies, and some scary damsel emerger. The streamer looked awful, the stonefly looked amazing, and the damsel looked good. The stonefly was my favorite by far, because it was familiar. It started out as a carp fly on a curved shank hook, but it changed color and grew some legs. Next thing you know, it's a golden stonefly that looks good enough to eat. Well, if you're a fish (I am). I'm going to try tying some more of these and see how they work, and I'll tell you what happens. Also, this will be my last blog for this week, I am going on a class trip into the mountains and can't bring my computer. Lucky for me, they have a trout pond on the property, so I'll take some gear and bring back some stories.
Haha! That fly does look a little Model-ish...
ReplyDeleteHave a great time this week. Sounds like a blast! And hey, fun fishing with you today...!
You got a cool blog here. I wish I started at your age! You got a new follower and keep it up

ReplyDeleteModel-ish would have to mean it had a chance of turning into something, haha! And thanks, but I'm not sure how bonding with classmates will go (bad). Ya, definitely gotta do that again sometime. Have a good rest of your week!

"bonding with classmates" = "group activities" = torture! I hated this stuff....still do. ;) Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteHey, I like your "Alien Shit" --- and great name too!
Yes, let's do it again!
Ya, I love that name too. And guess who came up with it (he probably won't remember it, he was all hyped up on 15 cups of coffee and 1/3rd the hours of sleep)? Our very own Jay Zimmerman!
ReplyDeletehehehehehe! That doesn't surprise me a bit!
ReplyDeleteWell if we don't give Jay his coffee he gets grumpy ;) And the name's would probably be less interesting!
ReplyDeleteGood point! You aren't slipping anything extra into that there coffee? For fly naming genius? Now are ya...? ;)
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say to that is "you can prove nuthin'!!!" But nah that's all from his brain (or the thing in place of a brain that fills up the space in his head, probably a carp in there somewhere...)
