Pokin the hornets nest
ABSOLUTE IDIOTS
Time for a major rant
You know most of you my lovely readers are on facebook
and it’s a fantastic way of communicating , and for us fly fishermen and fisherwoman
it has infinite possibilities in the realms of fly tying help , ideas , materials
and connects fellow fly fishers across the world and im pretty sure 99% of
people will have gained at least a
little knowledge or an idea for a fly through the wealth of knowledge that’s
out there and everyday I see amazing flies by amazing people from all over the
world so let me ask a question take a look at the picture below
What do you see, does
this picture offend you or do you like me see as in any fly picture you see on
the internet a fly made with love and dedication using the finest of materials and
putting together using ideas from many of the fine flies I see on facebook or
the internet but with my slant on it , when you look at this does it annoy you
or do you find my logo in the corner offensive , no why would you, your looking
at the fly arnt you , do you really care im part of the deercreek family , no I
thought not your looking at the fly, its up to you if you go over to the
deercreek website im not forcing you to do anything all im doing is showing my
work and something I love to do , just so happens im a member of one of the
closest pro familys on the planet , loyal friends and I mean friends who are
like family to me and have helped me through some bad times and made me who I
am today, but you don’t need to know my story all I do is tie flies and put the
pictures up and have my logo in the corner like a million other fly pictures on
facebook …….
So what am I getting
at well theres always some fookin high and mighty asshole who thinks they knows
it all im sure youll have come across one of these bottom dwellers at one time
or another and you know most of the time I stay quiet on such things and indeed
its been a few years since I came across an idiot I need to speak out against
Meet texas
goldcounter
This idiot(name
changed to avoid embarrassment) decides
to go on facebook and kick up a fuss because he was sick of seeing the
deercreek logo on lots of flies and deer creek product being mentioned
everywhere , he even had the audacity to call somebody’s flies decidedly ropey
on facebook , now im sorry but everybody has to start somewhere at one point my
flies were ropey and mabey some still are , but im like a sponge I soak up
knowledge and techniques and then pass this on for zero cost of course doing
something for nothing is not in mr goldcounters best interest and of course
using the materials I use people will go seek those materials out unfortunately
he dosnt stock them on his site so probably dosnt like it all this promotion
for another website , but to call someones flies ropey is fookin well out of
order , of course even the ropey flies are hand made by people who fish for the
fish they are tied for not some mass made African shite like on his site but
hey everybody to his own eh , and besides the deercreek team is a fantastic
unit of talented people who do what they do for the love of what they do ,
All I really got to
say about this idiot is , he actually tried to tell a friend of mine that there
were no sea bass of the coast of wales and then tried to sell him flies to catch the fish that wernt there , really ive never laughed so much in my
life
a large bass caught
near tenby which is in er…………………wales
Get the point, so
called experts need to keep it zipped and never diss a mans flies you aint all
that and I aint afraid to out you, threaten all you want family is family you
picked on the wrong family
So to a lighter note
What I did on my
vacation, well actually dispute the lack of activity on here I have been up to
my ears in stuff , I work a really stressfull job in mental illness so that
keeps me very focused and I do get somewhat drained when I get home , I also am
booked up with lots of fly orders and im tying a few very sexy experimental
flies and jesus I really hope to get out fishing soon im getting sever
withdrawal symptoms , one design im doing at the moment involves tying trolling
flies for trolling the big Scottish lochs
and although I cant show you the patterns as they belong to the creator
of the colours I can say its been an interesting experience doing these as ive
moved on a hellava lot from my original designs like below
The whole purpose of
tying these in the first place was to have a rod set up on a sinking line so
when I move from spot to spot I could troll this behind in the hope of a bonus
fish or two, ok not traditional but hey pike fly fishing aint trad either, so
when I get a mail from the king of the Scottish lochs “brain” I was happy to
help design something for his needs and the dude is pretty series about his
ferox hunting let me tell you
So was happy to get
involved in the project to help nail some of these beasties
And its ongoing so
watch this space , the only thing I can say is the flies look the dogs bollox
and work very well in the water ………….operation status ongoing
So I had a problem
recently
Online retailer
pikeshak decided to stop retailing basically I think he wanted to spend more
time fishing , so with this I lost my supply of fastach clips , which if you’ve
never used them are bloody fantastic for changing flies fast and ive been using
them for a couple of years now and im well happy with them , ok if you only use
one fly all day then sure use a jam knot
Great knot I use it
with authanic wire for subbugs but for other flies I use the fasttach because I
tie a lot of flies im constantly changing flies to see what they look like in
the water and these are the dogs for fast fly change im delighted to have found
them at
I use the 50lb and
75lb ones the destroyer will be delighted as he has nearly run out of the ones
I have lent him lol
So what else is new
well deercreeks uv resin continues to take the world by storm as the only non
tacky uv out there
Don’t belive me well
try it for yourself unlike other uv resins this really is the best out there,
and used by the likes of davie mcfail , fred hannie , dave hise , father christmas in fact some of the
best names out there , probably explains why other companies are trying to post
the tiers from the deercreek team ………ha ha ha no luck clear goo if your in the
states you can purchase deercreek product here
why wouldn’t you viva
the revolution stuff the oldboys network be a free thinker not a follower
So my fine friends I shall sighn off for a few weeks while I do some tying and catching up with brother ken in Vermont and the crusty weed tart the destroyer hes been fairly quite lately as hes been in a padded room but I believe we will be fishing sometime shortly
So what else is on
the cards well im trying to plan a trip to a remote place in the fens for a few
days for those elusive zander I have some pike fishing to do on my local and
try and get one of the really hard to catch bloody perch , I also have some
cool ideas I need to put on hooks which starts today , im taking a lot of ideas
from flies for east coast usa sea fish and changing them around a bit to suite
my needs , gliss and glint plus features quite highly in these builds
