Was he trying to compensate?? Funny story. My wife doesn’t have a problem with my fly room. She just refuses to clean up behind me.
I could tie a giant garfish fly stuck in the mouth of a 5’ long Flex-o Garfish. Kinda’ like my bass-eating-a-frog fly. Did he see my Biggie-Bonito Fly?

I met someone up the coast a few weeks back talking about the size of his 'giant' flies. I pulled out my phone and brought up your website. He could only say WTF!! He was a jolly (and surely inebriated Scotsman who told me that he had so much fly tying gear taking up the house that his wife said it was either the gear or her, so he took it out to the street and dumped it for someone needy to put it to good use. Says he still misses her sometimes. Not sure if he was joking or not! His second wife is more into fishing than he is. You need to do a giant garfish fly for a challenge.

Tied a 14/0 (6” hook) scud and made the shell case out of 3/4” clear tube split down one side and then tapered. Used 200 mono for the overwrap to create the segments. Really came out good. I gave it to Pacres. Told him to pull it out of his bag when they got to the ‘big hole’ on the river and hand it to the client and say “Here... put this on- there’s big’uns in here.” Need to do another pink jelly-rope scud like that.
