Instead of hijacking the related thread....

What is your fly that never seems to work for you - that everyone else raves about, and just waists your tipet?

Mine isn't a fly... it is a spinner... a Mepps Spinner in fact... I am convinced that it is a conspiricy to make me look like an idiot. I have never - ever had a bite on a mepps. People tell me all kinds of lies about the fish they catch on them... they fake pictures putting that ugly thing in their fishes mouths, they have even been known to preform slight of hand by fishing with something else, and then magically changing gear when I come and look.

Then - secretly behind their hands and my back, they laugh their fool heads off when I tye one of those dasterdly things on my line in desperation, and catch nothing but moss.

What is your Nolan Ryan fly? If I don't catch something on a clouser some day soon, it is going to reach Nolan Ryan status too.
