i have this terrible habit of falling into orvis on the way to work , doesn't help i have to get 2 buses and my bus stop for the second bus is right next door almost , well my wife doesn't let me have money anymore as she likes to make sure the children have at least one hot meal a week but she does give me lunch money unfortunately this is usually enough for a pack of tiemcos or some fly tying related stuff but hey at least the weights falling off ......:-)
sandeel material
so I'm not like a hook tart or anything and I'm really loving the piketrek hooks they are really outstanding for the dosh but as i was in orvis the other day and i didn't quite have enough on me for what i needed i decided to do a comparison with the tiemco hooks to the piketrek ones and i must say i was pleasantly surprised at the outcome but i have plenty of testing to do yet
so with my daft redneck brother ken capsey having spilled beer on his laptop its really too funny to write about (give it a few days and ill post the story) I'm left to ponder some patterns for my trip to top water heaven and largemouth lunkerville in July and i thought to myself i think these sand eels would do pretty well on one particular lake we fished and I'm sure these will have the horses going nuts so going to tie a shed load more not that i lose flys in fact last year i didn't lose one fly but best to be on the safe side .............and no doubt a few will make there way into rednecks box
so having tied a few up i started thinking pickerel , you see ken has this pond he fishes which has a pretty healthy population of them and some are a good size as well so with these just being a mini pike i scaled up a bit on the size but not full pike snack size and to give a tasty looking morsel , its tied the same way as the sand eels with the exception that I've added some red DNA fibre into the head and added a bigger eye still basically the same fly though and i think it will do the job
