FLYMPH FORUM

-Very nicely done, really nice flies..

Thanks cicvara--somedoay I'd like to try them on the longer shank Gamakatsu S10 that you were tying with.

Otherwise, all I can say about the rest is that if you let a boy roam at will over several thousand hardcrabble acres with his faithful dog, some half-wild cattle, and easy access to firearms, there are going to be some lasting, ah, images. come from it. Remind me when I get to Roscoe and I'll tell you my detonating armadillo story.

Creationbear,
These flies are beautiful. They look alive! Mine look stiff and spikey. Yours have a smooth, easy, beautifully curved (like the naturals) flow to them. I can't imagine them lasting too long in the water when the caddis are doing their thing over the water.
I wanna hear about the detonating armadillo too whenst we get to Roscoe!

Remind me to do the same. I grew up in southern AR and my CB handle in the deer woods when I was 10 was Armadillo Killer. True story. I have stories.

Armadillo Killer

Hey, in some out-of-the-way precincts I'm still known as "Armadillo Boy." Again, a long story, though in this case I wasn't the one who dispatched said possum-on-the-half-shell to its final reward. (Although I'm sure William will concur when I say that armadillo is one critter on which it really is possible to "use too much gun." )

DD--high praise indeed, though I imagine yours will get wooled-up almost before they get wet.

Hey, I was only 10, I had a 12 gauge. I didn't get my first 30-30 until I was 12. Didn't anyone find the strange part of that story the fact that I had a CB handle? Yup.

Dub-ya, Howdy;

30 or so years ago if ya didn't (considering you were in Arky....), THAT would have raised an eyebrow or 2

I can believe you had a CB handle. I hauled Air Freight Syracuse to Columbus Ohio for 23 or 24 yrs. The regulars on I 90 ran some BIG radios, I still have all mine but now they're all packed away.
