anyone bored?

I’m going to bust this one off in the morning. Probably on a big rock that I will claim was a 5 lb smallmouth.

Let me know how the experiment with the White T.U.E. ones go.   🤔

I still don’t know how they hook up but I have to tell you a story. 
 

Saturday morning 4 of us are floating down the river and I have one of those tied on. We came to where some rail road tracks ran along the river and all kinds of fish were stacked along that riprap bank. I was out front not really fishing. I got to the end of that and decided to wait there for the others to fish that area. I saw some fish moving around so I flipped that fly out there. It moved really well and I started having fun jacking with the gills that were dragging it around by its tail. So I fire it up under a tree and give it a few quick strips and see this dark figure follow it out. Uh oh! I would move it a little and that fish stayed right with it. Little breeze hit and rippled the water just for half a second. Wait, where’s my fly? And that’s when time slowed down. I all of a sudden got a clear view of this fish, 15-16 inches, no monster but a decent fish. And just as I realized I needed to set the hook, I saw the gills flare and watched that ball of rabbit fur come shooting out of her mouth. By then my arm caught up with my brain and that fly shot out of there at around Mach 5. And that fish just slowly swam back to that tree. 
 

It would have been cool to catch but it was equally cool seeing that fly come shooting out of its mouth like that.

@Lancer09 let me know if you don't get them tomorrow and I'll just drive down and we can meet to get lunch or something. I am tired of the USPS this year. I could've walked the darn things down there and made it back by now.

They suck pretty bad right now @Ryan Miloshewski.
