Only counts if you tie your tippet to the bend....... and still catch a fish with it! :lol:

Tom,

Interesting.

You really should have considered tying this one on the Polish fly hook...

Cheers,

I laughed out loud the moment the page loaded. Very fine.
We've been seeing some humorous names for flies, but now you are raising the bar much higher. Let's see what happens next.

Gunnar Johnson once tied a fly on a paper clip that he used to hold some text pages together. But this is much funnier.

That will actually work better than a "normal" fly, it hides the hook better.

Lance,

This person tied his first ever fly on a bent paper clip - a Tups.

Any takers who the person is?
