Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Its kind of fun to look at Fly Rod and Reel's cover shot every month to see what pattern they are doing for the what fly is this guessing game. So I think it would be fun to try it here. GUESS THIS FLY rules : JUST NAME THE PATTERN - if you know the originator of the pattern you get extra points. Points amount to nothing though.. so get as many as you can! You win nothing for guessing correctly. ( But, you know you've won - that's huge) You can try to figure the name out by right clicking on the pattern and seeing what the URL of the item is, but that aint the fun that is playing this game. You cannot win more than 10 straight - or you will be disqualified from all future posts. ( he he he / just kidding ) Here is the first pic for guessing - Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.

Greg Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 Brian - I'm really surprised you haven't had any responses here? I'd love to guess but I'm just not that knowledgeable about fly tying beyond the basics. It looks like the San Juan worm to me but as far as the originator I haven't a clue.

tippet7 Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I think its a blood worm. I dont think its a "traditional" San Juan. You are so stupid you threw a rock at the ground and missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members woodsfish Posted January 4, 2006 Members Share Posted January 4, 2006 Right you are Butts.. you guys wanna put up some flies too.. go ahead.. We could have a bunch up as fly tying eye candy. Check this out - this one's tough to name correctly : Is this Davy's Shad? If so, it was originated by Davy Wotton. Woodsfish. Is this Davy's Shad? If so, it was originated by Davy Wotton. Woodsfish. Close,but no cigar. I went to DW's site and looked at his shad, which, by the way, is called "Davy Wotton Shad", and his has hackle on the backle. Woodsfish.
