On The Fly 6 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 So, this Saturday the 11th Ill be getting married! I know that has nothing to do with fishing, BUT my future wife made a suggestion that really surprised me....but also made me realize how much I really do love her. Instead of using boutonnieres for myself and my groomsmen, and knowing my obsession with fly fishing, my fiance suggested I tie up some flies using our wedding colors and use them instead! Caught me by surprise but I thought it was a really unique idea! I went with a wooly bugger style pattern because I wanted something you could see, and also because its really easy to include a lot of color in them! Our colors are black, purple, and white. Ill get a picture of my finished product up when I can. I just thought Id share this idea with you so that you could use it, or pass it on to others! Thanks for reading this!

Kayser Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 I would almost think a bomber pattern- atlantic salmon dries tied with bucktail, deer hair body and hackle. Also, they're tied big. Black tail, purple body, black hackle, white wing. But it sounds like you got the catch of a lifetime there, so Congrats! Rob WARNING!! Comments to be interpreted at own risk. Time spent fishing is never wasted.

DaddyO Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Can't see the pics. It's asking for a password. DaddyO We all make decisions; but, in the end, our decisions make us.
