Saltamontes Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Anticipating your fishing trip next morning, you sit at the bench the night before and tie your "sure fly", then next morning you get up extra early and whip together a few more..... then load up your gear in your vehicle and head out. You get to your destination gear up, assemble your boat, you reach for the container you put your newly tied flies in, only to realize you left it sitting on your fly tying table............. GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! Frustrated, you drive to the nearest town to buy some of the patterns you tied, only to find out they are sold out !!!!!!!!!!!! On the flip side, I managed O.K. caught numerous fish with other patterns, but really wanted to try what I had put together for the trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
