Nice fish Oldman!

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Smile ....the fly was a 'whatever' from my vice...

O.D. Mike....

...a few strands of flash....dark green over chartruse over white bucktail on a Mustad 2/0 C71S SS hook....

..I've grown to be a big fan of those circle hooks....

...I've always had issues tying multiples of the same 'patterns' and have ended up putting together whatever catches my eye out of the stash at the time....

..plus when the schoolies are in the trough off the edge of the sandbar...it don't matter what the pattern is ...they are there feeding on whatever slides by ...

...and yes it did splash my glasses after only a 20 second revival session..

OH i LIKE that approach....

kinda of like spur of the moment thinking

not adhering to a regimented plan and just building
your fly presentation on a whim....

very artistic....

just like NEBE
