Last batches of salty flies

Post by MikeBishop » Thu Apr 13, 2017 1:29 pm

Before fishing then eventually back to Canada, thanks Mat for the vice! It's been fun, read a few popovic, dick brown, and chicone books.

Have to add multiple posts as can only do 3 pics at a time, sorry!

Hi Peter, sure did and a whole load more! These are just a few. Used 400 yards of thread and i don't know how many hooks, 2 containers of loon uv haha. Sent an order off to a guide in Florida, and a lot is going with me to Exmouth for a guide there, then Mat gets whats left. Summer was a sweatshop here.

That crab i needed the MFC natural legs to get a good reticulated sand crab but only brought a few blue and orange with me so that has to do for Permit. Only just learned thats what they like here, yellow.

Headed off late May, but going to be busy from next weekend getting the fishing out of my system. Go back to the comfort zone of steelhead flies next but when i am back here will get to salty stuff.

Leave you with some steelhead stuff i tied hanging on my wall waiting to be fished.
