T.F.M. Spotting - Lucas At The Vise

It's starting to cool down in New York and this is giving Lucas Carroll more time at the vise tying up marabou spey flies for the Great Lakes Tributaries.  Lucas sent along a T.F.M. Spotting photo of himself at the vise and I'm thinking that fly sure looks steelhead tasty.


Later this month Lucas and I are meeting up with Mad Mike for a day looking for redfish (will I touch my first one?) in Charleston.  Lucas has been filling up his redfish box with patterns including Mike's Copperhead Crab.

Check out Lucas's excellent photography and fly tying websites for more of his excellent work.

OK, I gotta call Photoshopped on this one! See, when I first met Luke he was telling me about all small midges. Then, this past Saturday while out fishing with one of Lukes small scuds, I ran into him, and he said he's had luck on that scud....but even SMALLER! So, I'm even more convinced he's all about small flies! So, since the fly in the vise pictured is larger than a size #20 I'm calling photoshopped. I don't think Luke would ever allow himself to be photographed with something so hideously large!

GFP...HA... Maybe Lucas just has REALLY small hands and that is a size 22 marabou spey fly? HA...

Ha....I think I just peed my pants! That is way too funny. Luke is certainly at the top of his game when fishing small flies, but in his defense, he has been throwing more and more big streamer patterns this past year! And with the addition of a new switch rod to his arsenal, he has no choice but to throw meat!!!
