Tying Flies

Dylon, our grandson, has been visiting with us since Monday afternoon.

  • We have been fishing at the pond.
  • We have ridden the golf cart all over the farm and especially to the Beaver Pond.
  • We have rescued a bicycle from the rust heap.
  • Tonight, we pulled the fly tying kit.

I forgot he was left-handed!!!



Turning the vise around, he was able to get the wraps down.


Metro wanted to eat the Peacock Hurl...

INTENSE CONCENTRATION

"Can we do another one?"


Here... Fishy, Fishy, Fishy!!! Not really trying to "match the hatch" on this one. Dylon just thought it was colorful. It wouldn't matter much to the Blue Gills at the pond anyway. They have been known to strike and bite an empty hook!!!













Flies from last year and tonight
