In my early days of fly fishing I was using mint candy tins for my fly patterns
Went fishing and left my tin fly box at home, having grabbed by mistake the other mint tin of bare hooks
But that did not stop me from fishing that day...
I broke off the filter of my cigarette butt and peeled part away part the wrapping and inserted it on one of the bare hooks I had the tin mint box...
The fish like the cigarette fly pattern...
Do not let a mistake, ruin your day fly fishing on the water surface...
