Loose Parts by Dave Blazek for May 08, 2011

Stickin’ a hook through ‘em generally takes care of that ‘dead’ part.

Although this certainly would make for a more ‘lively’ lure. Maybe ask the bug to hold on tight to the hook?

Ah, but aren’t flies “tied”?

It’s really hard to tie the living flies on. I commend the guy with live bait.

Feeding the little buggers to keep them alive in your tackle box without getting poked by a hook is quite the challenge.

It’s making the little tiny lasso that’s the real problem.

OMG. That is so funny!!

it’s SUPER fly!

You poke a live worm.

Worms? You use worms?

Tying flies is very Zen. Think like a fish & make something that looks like breakfast. Granddaddy’s artistry was unmatched. He could pull a 2 foot trout from from a 1 foot stream.

Oh…..

@ ChuckLitl, RE: Granddaddy’s tale of getting ‘a 2 foot tout out of a 1 foot stream’. When was he in Ireland to kiss the Blarney Stone’?

Touché, mien freund! D_R

Saw it happen Woody.
