That is a cool fly. When you said Tater...I immediately thought of Ron White...lol. (tater salad)

Kelly - me too!
Could this be the first fly of the "Tater" series?? (Mashed Tater, Cheesy Tater, Baked Tater, Later Tater)
Cool lookin' tie, and pretty effective, I'd guess.

I agree. I definitely sense a series coming out of this.

Why do I think "Quill Gordon" when I see that? Looks like it would be a killer in April.

Nice work Murray.
When you start looking there will be lots of household "tying" materials laying around the house just like your tater sack. Girls are usually a better source than boys- hair ties- sparkly shoe laces- ribbons and if you are brave, doll's hair. Just because it didn't come from the fly store don't mean you can't tie flies from it!
