I've been getting creative with some pintail feathers, lately. Hope the summer steelies like 'em!

If I need pintail feathers to fly fish, I guess I'm gonna starve.

I don't tie flies, I only use a fly reel on tarpon and bonies. I do tie/dress back trebles on topwaters and some jerkbaits and crappie jigs.

I tie well enough to catch fish on my flies. Good thing they don't have to be perfect.

Something I've always wanted to do. But it's 3 hours minimum to any good fly fishing.

a little something I threw together the other day...

That thing looks great Capt, don't think I would be able to fish with it.

I call bullshit

Keep meaning to buy a vice, have tied before just haven't got around to buying my own stuff.

Holy crap! Nice work. The married wing in your last one is sweet, too.

I haven't done the decorative thing, but steelhead flies are fun because you can really just make stuff up as you go along.

I told you stupid mofo's that Captain had some mad skillz. Gifs and flies man!

Can't say I'm convinced that the captain tied those but they are amazing. Capt, if it was you I apologize for my skepticism.

My dad just taught me this year how to tie trolling flies.

What's a trolling fly? And have you done any turkey hunting?

I have gone turkey hunting. My dad shot a 22lbs. tom w/ a 9 inch beard with his bow. Neither of us could get a shot at the big one, about a 12 inch beard, probably 25-26 lbs.

I always thought turkeys were bigger than geese?

I have too, but I've never seen a 22 lb goose either.
