I only tied 2.... Red A$$ Prince variation size 14, 4x long, and a Wilted turnip/rutabaga/cabbage variation. Size 10 (Mustad 3399)

My bucket list still includes, catching and photographing a trout, caught by me, using a Purple (my nemesis) fly.

if I were to make a trout repellant, I am sure it would end up being Purple in color. :(

Trout repellant? That's funny, Wayne. I do like your new patterns, especially the Wilted Vegetable variation.

I would guess that the second one would take you about two minutes to catch a trout on.

How hard can it be?
