Anantha Patel Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 After buying a fly fishing kit, I was hooked on fly fishing. So one of my friends lent me his vice and some supplies for me to tie some flies. Long story short, I tried tying some Adam Flies, which are basically some brown hair tied on a hook, with some feathers on top. After getting the feathers on the fly, I dropped accidentally, and it landed on my reddish brown carpet. It was struck there. After pulling it off the hook, I noticed that there was some carpet fuzz stuck on. Since I was not short on supplies, I tied the fuzz on, and a got a pretty nice looking fly. Is there any potential I can use it on the water? I got some flies tied, but this is just a novelty. Quote

Anantha Patel Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 Well, what do you know! The fly stays on top perfectly. I can just to Home Depot's carpeting section for the rest of my flies. Quote
