Blizzard Weekend Carp Tying

The Terminator just pulled a urinal off the wall and smashed it over the bad lady's head: T3, Rise of the Machines. Been watching movies and tying flies when kids are in bed. Not the best fishing weekend, as water is up, likely cold, and roads are bad. So go with it instead of fight it. Turned out maybe 50 carp flies by way of intermittent sessions with cinematic backdrops. Watched Aliens and Alien 3, up till 1 AM the other night. Watched a bit of The Big Lebowski too. Drinking coffee, tea, beer; eating venison sausage cooked in old wine that turned to vinegar; toasting homemade bread and spreading on 2010 grape jelly; wild rice from northern half of state; etc, etc.

Sobchak Marabou Humpy

Didn't even mean to tie this up, but en route to other patterns, this came out. I like it for trout and carp. Marabout tied on a hook. Simplest bit out there. Let the feather do its thing man. Will take fish.



Maude Lebowski: What do you do for recreation?
The Dude: Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback.







#6 scud hook, bead chain eyes spray painted black, red/black dub from WFF, wine hackle from River City Fly Shop:

#6 scud hook, bead chain eyes spray painted black, shiney chenille from Roughfisher, orange chinese pheasant rump from River City Fly Shop:


#8 scud hook, shiney chenille from Roughfisher, orange chinese pheasant rump from River City Fly Shop; will cement heads later - trying the light colored thread heads per tip I read: sometimes a guy can track those in the water as the fly falls:

yes I second that JP! I like that simple marabou fly, give me a name so I can begin making my variation on it.

excellent list on the movies, Aliens, and Lebowski. We just watch the dude and walter the other week.

No tying for me though, we rocked the tree and got it completely cut up and off the lawn. Used the time with the warm weather and no snow wisely, we have fire wood for the entire summer and then some. Even raked up 2 55 gallon barrels full of nothing but kindling since there was no snow on the ground.

Two patterns are to be added: one of the soft hackles with some rubber legs, and a "zebra midge" that I really like. Kind of like a carp wooly. Joe W. caught his first ever carp on a fly with that pattern.

WFF: it's the Sobchak Marabou Humpy. Swing it under a log pile and see what happens. Good news on the tree.

And Oregon trip will be here before we know it... I was scoping airfare last night.

I miss OR...i really miss those takes and seeing all those carp on every turn we would take and watching you stalkers..no trip for me though. let me know when the MN trip is going to be. i want to make that if there's room.


btw: did James make some of those flies.....????

James made some flies. None of those in the pics. He made some streamers that would catch fish.

THis morning he told me he wants to make a remote control vacuum cleaner.

Ι'm really enjoying the theme/design of your website. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A couple of my blog readers have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Opera. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem?
