FLYMPH FORUM

Rodger - I have no idea what size hook this is listed as. I am guessing it is probably a 10/0 hook. The length (end-to-end) is three inches!

Lance - Nah, I'm saving this one for our Salt Water Flymph Swap. (kidding)

Thank you all for your kind responses.

Ray, Howdy;

If you start fishin' that thing.....You'll need to ...... Get a Bigger Boat!!!

hank

"Bigger boat"..... not to mention a #15 weight plus rod. You should see if there are any pole vault sticks left to spare after the Olympics, should be a grand blank for a project rod of the sizes required!

Great looking softie though Ray..... just don't think of how many ordinary size flies all that herl could have produced.

I tied a similar tribute to Mark fly soon after he "left" the forum to debate soft hackle virtues with a loftier crowd ( you can picture him asking the big guy...... "you dig?"), mine isn't a soft hackle as such, contains around a dozen different species of bird feathers, a few beads and some synthetic......... hangs above my computer desk.

awesome!!!!!.......the salmon guys on Oak Orchard Creek would like to use that!!!

Very nicely done Ray!

If anyone has ever tried to tie a trout fly on a hook this big before, you know it is very difficult to do and make it look nice.

I have a big hook I've been putting off tying on for a while. might have to give it a go. I thought of using it as a display when I do demonstrations.

Again Ray...nicely done.

VERN-O - Good one! If that's the case, maybe I should name it "Snagus Maximus!"

Donald - I love your naming suggestion. Very cool.

Thanks guys. I am enjoying the humor in each post. Great creativity.
