Am I the only one who sees a bunch of flies in the photo below?<P style="MARGIN: 0px">

I've looked at these things ever since they came out a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, they are available only in pink and this green.

I use a lot of scented flies and this ought to really soak up the scent.

how long is each strand? if there not long enough to use as a bucktail or something like that? then you could use them as a chenille. I hope that you have an ass load of hooks post some picks of what kinda creations you come up with and if they work good and are durable. Hunter R

I see some crab/toad bodies. Let us know how they work.

I'm no purist, but you might as well be chuckin bait. That's like sleeping with a hooker; cheap and easy, but still leaves ya feeling dirty in the end. Just sayin':boo

We should pick a random, inexpensive material once a month or so like what you have there. We all try to come up with something and post results. Could be fun. Whatcha think? Anyone out there with something better to do till april?

Sounds good to me, I will start looking around to see what I have.

Hunter

Maybe I should go to the craft store with the wife.

How about this? Too obvious?

What is a household item that we all would have? Or maybe something anyone could find at a convenience store? I'll look around and find something fairly common I hope....

EDIT: Idea..... How about keep the rules very general. Such as: you can use anything you want as long as your materials are not fly tying or fishing related except for hook and thread. You can use anything around the house that has little to no value, as long as it has never been previously considered, or intended to befly tying material or a lure of some sort. Extra points if you have to dig it out of the trash. You can use bead chain, but it MUST be cut from a ceiling fan at either of the following locations: Girlfriend's house, Mom's house, In-laws house. And you have to replace it with mono....I like it. Whatcha think?

Capt. Ken thought you might be interested to see this fly tied by a friend of mine who is a certified master flycaster from Punta Gorda,



That's a Fuzzy Wuzzy fiber in the tail. He claims that the fish like them and seem to hold on a little longer.

I also took the challenge posted and last night tied up this beauty (haha),



Dug the tail out of a pile of items headed for the trash. These are all the materials and tools I used to tie the fly,



Can't wait to see everyone's flies.
