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.
