The Carrie Challege

Bryant Freeman's Gray Ghost

"Took the time this afternoon between snow showers and cleaning the driveway to meet the Carrie Challenge. Old saying from old home of Greenfield in Nova Scotia - Put up or shut up!! :) The toughest thing I found about making the fly was keeping the camera steady when I took the picture and held the materials and hook at the same time. I used 00 thread, a 3665A hook and one coat of Cellire. The fly was my first by hand in 30 years. Fingers do not want to respond anymore.

My step-by-step labors can be seen at: http://www.salmonflies.com/handrolledghost.htm

A few random articles for your entertainment Dual Tube Phlyz In an effort to entice larger striped muggers (stripers) during the spring herring run on Cape Cod when big fish venture back into the shallow estuaries to the herring runs, Pete Gray started tying 8-12+ inches herring flies on double tubes. August 1st 2007 The Real Rag Worm Every year in March and April the rag worms emerge from the bottom to secure the next generation. They swim freely in the water, wiggling from one side to the other. Sea gulls feed on the from above and many fish species seem to focus on them from beneath. March 21st 2007 The Graphite Fly Rod A nicely produced DVD set (2 discs) covering in depth all aspects of building a graphite fly rod featuring Russ Gooding of Golden Witch Technologies. Gooding builds modern rods in the bamboo rod style. Very thorough and very instructive. December 13th 2008 A Pheasant Under Glass Two seemingly unrelated events led tube fly tyer par excellence Bob Kenly to this method of tying and to discover a coloring system that I have never tried before: dyed Lady Amherst tail feathers and a note requesting something different to be thrown in the water for salmon in New Foundland.
