Post by DarrellP » Fri Nov 03, 2023 8:33 am

This is my old standby gor stillwater. I caught almost every fish this year on a Carey.

...but you can tie.
Carey would be a cool theme for a future swap.

Darrell,
Great tie. Very popular pattern out here in the Pacific Northwest.

Darrell,
This Carey is absolutely beautiful! I like this version! It is sooo fishy looking!
Fish when you can, not when you should! Anything short of this is just a disaster.

I've caught fish in still water and moving water with a Carey special very similar to that one. Well done.

One of my favorites for the all the holding ponds here in Florida. When I was in Central Oregon our fly club would do an annual trip to Kamloops area in Canada. This was one of the go to patterns.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
