It works even better ifin you add a chunk a worm.
Profanation, sacrilege, blasphemy and blatant irreverence! Shame, shame, shame. What next, tie it on a treble hook? :shock: :shock: 
Ya what Joe said :shock: :shock: :shock:
Being the elite/purist that I am, I had to ‘farm-out’ that element of the testing. If Pete/Joe says so, well, what can I say?
I WOULD NEVER! what happened to the FLY part of fly fishing???!!!
Pete,
I would like to give you some advice! One of my rules is… DON’T MAKE FUN of the FOTW!!!
It’s not a good idea.
And DON’T Mess with Superman!
Doug
Joe how do you get the bead on the treble hook???
Eric
Pinch all three barbs down? :shock:
Personally, I would use the treble as a trailer hook. As far as the fly part, I guess we could use a maggot instead of a worm. However, I prefer the earth tones of the worm…just a bit more classic, I guess. That’s the kinda guy I am.
put it on in front of the treble. :shock:
and the barbs have to be there to assist THOSE KINDA GUYS in rippin there guts out after they get landed!
then they get a head stomp or a bash against a rock, and a spike through there gills of course!
ugh sometimes people disgust me, sorry for the rant guys :?
totally un-called for i know.
and i know not every baitfisherman is like this!
“That’s the kinda guy I am.”
Brought to you by… Pete (Stir The POT) Hiatt! :lol:
I just LUV all that stompin talk! Makes me wanna go fishin RIGHT NOW!
Hey Pete,
Use some Power Bait paste.
You will get better results! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Pete,
I think it’s legal to fish for catfish right now, so you can put a GLOB of worms on your treble hook with a OUNCE of lead and be happy as a CLAM!!!

Here is the proper music listen to while you tie and fish that fly. Turn on your audio.

:lol:
Pete,
That Adam’s Family music is right up your alley!
Your Creepy, Kooky, Mysterious and Spooky and all together Ooky!!!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
So, why am I up at this hour and listening to the music? :? (thanks NH, what would I ever do without ya?)
Maybe old Pete ain’t such a backwoods redneck as you think.Although he may not appreciate that statement.
The illustration below is from W. H. Lawrie’s book ‘Border River Angling’ (1939) The chapter on night fishing.
Lawrie says
'A selection of night flies incorporating this idea may be obtained from Messrs Hardy Bros. (Alnwick) Ltd.,
who have kindly undertaken to include this development in their 1939 Catalogue.
The idea of adding a maggot to the hook of a fly was well established on the Tweed long before this.
You can’t get a much better pedigree in fly fishing than Hardy never mind Lawrie.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Hey Donald,
An endorsement of adding a maggot to a fly (and a barbed one at that) by such pedigreed individuals as Hardy and Lawrie sure put a plug into some sarcastic pie holes herein. 
Mark
Donald,
Figure 11 looks like a 747 with a maggot hitching a ride on the landing gear!!! :lol: :lol:
I think it would take a ‘Stout’ rod to cast it.
I congratulate you Sir on coming up with evidence to save Pete’s hide. :lol:
