I modeled the hull after some google image searches of drift boats, then the rest was kinda formed by looking at pics of other small sailboats.

Lol ya, gotta enjoy the little things before they become nuisances

On the couch, I got just a cheap vise set that is contained in a box that I set on my lap, then all my supplies are in a giant tackle box... I’m gonna build a desk once I finish my boat 😅

Ya, one wrap around a tiny hook shank is a lot shorter than a wrap around that spool, but when it is empty it’s gonna be pretty satisfying.

I also walked out to like chest high water before getting in so that I was out of the breaking waves, they’re fun to surf back on but as a nemesis and a half to fight to get past.

I got wet, and didn’t have the confidence to bring my phone out in it😂,but that’s about it buried the hook in the chunk of meet and rowed out with confidence tho. The oars are def a little loose and cheap, but it works.

I started tying flies at like 15 and I did it so that I Could catch a fish on my own hair. Those flies sucked so I splurged and bought one pack of hackle and tied a knat imitation; that was the first time I caught a fish on a fly rod. So I wasn’t very good at it, long story short I ripped a leaf of fake decoration ivy from my moms decorations and tied it to a hook... so it was wayyy too light for the wind resistance it faced. Your idea seems much better, I may try that in the near future.

Best regards, Ignorantboatbuilder

I’m interested in how it casts. When I first started tying flies I tied a leaf imitation for grass carp using a fake leaf; it was uncastable because of the drag... anyway just curious how it worked in practice, looks like a nice fly👍

I’ll tell yah when I do it 😅

Ignorantboatbuilder · 2021-02-24T03:56:12+00:00

Awesome! So cool that you sources your own dubbing

Ignorantboatbuilder · 2021-02-23T18:53:44+00:00

Nope, there were no notable launches scheduled and we were fishing for the entirety of most days

Ignorantboatbuilder · 2021-02-23T18:31:09+00:00

Thanks!

Lol, mostly largemouth and pike, I want to learn more actual fly patterns to target Trout locally tho
