Blue's in Fly Tying (Pattern by Chad Gauerke)
Blue in trout flies is a color I seldom consider. Chad Gauerke (Life on the Fly) uses the blue bead and ribbing and it pops doesn’t it? My son has tied Lighting Bug nymphs with blue and less silver. Blue/Purple are highly visible deep in the water column. Worth a consideration?
Sisk turns a perfect image for all these ‘characters’ one encounters. Thank goodness none of them are you or me, in part or whole. Quite a few knowing laughs here…….
“We’ve all seen them–Characters. Fellow flyfishers who have given us pause–either because they inspire us, humor us . . . or cause us to run the other way. The following is a collection of people I’ve seen or fished with who strike me as interesting fishing characters (some bizarre, a few possibly insane). None of these characters remotely resemble you or me, keep in mind. And it is not relevant that some of them catch more fish than you or me. That’s not the point. The point is . . . well, I’m not sure what the point is, but follow along anyway.” The Rest of the Characters
