Re: nasty canal tarpon
busted!!! all true sadly...I have been waiting for well over 1 month for materials to come so I am OUT of dreads except for 3 heavy ones...I took my last 15 to the flyshop a few days ago...this is merely 4 purple schlappin feathers tied on a hook...works as good as any fly ever made..takes about 1.5 minutes to tie

Re: nasty canal tarpon

Maybe nasty but still a tarpon... and much better than driving to whorelando and back.

Re: nasty canal tarpon
thanks...it was a accident...not really a action shot because I am standing in the water holding the tippet by hand...the fish is landed already and DNA sample taken...the flash plus suckboy attacking at that moment made the fish freak which was suppose to be a nice shot of it laying out with multiple colors on each scale etc...thats why I take him fishing with me

Re: nasty canal tarpon
I will predict another great victory tomorrow on the canal...gaining energy to tie some flys...I have adopted a new fly into my resume after extensive secret field testing...soon to be unveiled to the public - the Whispering Bamboozler
