After a 20 year hiatus... I threw myself headfirst back into the hobby.

And what better time to start than on a cold January night. Frasier's on in the background, coffee to my left. Mmmhmmmm.

Spamtenna as fishing flies for my good friend…

(Ignore that Spamton’s feathers are a lot bigger, the hook itself is actually much smaller than Mr Tenna’s)

I've had fly tying on the mind (notes on design below!)

What pokemon would you use as a lure?

Magikarp I imagine uses a lot of body tubing and epoxy resin to form the body. The side fins and tail are cellophane plastic.

Barboach uses a pipe cleaner fo the bulk of its body and also cellophane for the tail, potentially a metallic one.

Spewpa uses tulle for the main body and a large bead for the head. Sequins are glued or sewn into the tinsel.

Wiglett is a sillicone worm sewn onto the hook with a pompom on the end. Lol.

I'm gonna need a bigger vise.
