Popper question

I toyed with the idea of an articulated Crease fly, but never actually created one.   

 

It was a last second decision. If I hadn't have ran across some perfectly sized shanks while looking through hooks it wouldn't have happened.

I was just kidding.  It is an awesome looking fly though!!  I did actually put a fly rod in my truck for smallie fishing last week.  However it stayed there on my last trip. 

I grew up fly fishing.  Literally ran around the house with a car antenna with string on it when I was like 2 years old.   I'm 63.  I guess about 10 years ago I really lost my fire for it.  Honestly, I got tired of 5 and 6x tippets and the delicate nature of fly fishing for trout.

I wasn’t. 
 

But I get all that. I regularly carry both and don’t fish a fly rod as much. But I don’t try very hard anymore. I grew up tournament fishing and I’m content just relaxing now. I’ll catch some how I want to fish on that day, or I won’t. 
 

Offer still stands.

There are fly fishers that never go smaller than 3X for trout and my 5X at 5# test isn't as delicate as most spin fishers using 3# test for trout. Although trout aren't my favorite fly rod fish.

On the Colorado River we used 10 pound mono tippet with size 12 - 16 flies.  Trout didn't care at all.

              Then go into beast mode and forget what bored you about tossing delicate stuff for trout. I don't care if it is three inches or three foot or better fish. I just like throwing flies especially chucking big stuff. Do what you like and like what you do Pete 😉. I know you can do it.
