So here are two of my latest Muskie chasing flies. They are going to take the test on Sunday.  Last week I tied a bu
 crappie on the snch of flies.  9 white and olive gizmos and one EP crappie.  I lost the EPecond cast.   So I tied up a few this week.  I have been experimenting with different fibers for my fish.  I had a whole bunch of puedo-marabou that I won at the expo.  The first few flies were all tied with that.  It was a bit too soft and tangley so it tended to foul around the hook.  I went on a little binge and bought some yak, craft fur, and some other fiber I can't remember right now in wh
ite olive and cream, some of each.  I love yak. I want bunches and bunches of this stuff.  If anyone has some kicking around and they dont use it break it out try again, its fun.   As much as I love Yak I hate Craft Fur more.  I hate this shit, hate it hate it hate it.  I will try to find some other use for it, but I just don't dig it for making fish.  I have heard that Rainy's makes some good craft fur but I can not find it anywhere.  Does any one know who carries it?  Nick, help me out here.  I feel like I am ski
nning a muppet.  I don't want to kill muppets.  I can use a dead animal to make a fly, but not a muppet.  I had a girlfriend who loved muppets, maybe it is a carry over from her closet full of creatures.  Does anyone have any pointers on my EP flies.  Oh yeah, does no shop in this valley carry actual EP fiber?  I know Fish Tech is getting some.  I get first dibs.
