bullet Topic: Clint Eastwood Spey Series
    Posted: 27 Apr 2008 at 10:30am
A while back, in a moment of joking around, we decided that all origional "Spey" (Loosely meaning swinging flies for steelhead) coming off my vise would be named after Clint Eastwood Movies. 
 
Rules:  Flies have to be mostly origional, like a unique color of marabou popsicle or something that has been made in that "Mad Scientist at the Vise" session.
 
Flies must have been at least "Grabbed" by a fish. 
 
Flies must find a permanant spot in the fly box tied as a pattern, not just, "These colors work".
 
 
Lieutenant, is there a six-foot bat in Gotham City? And if so, is he on the police payroll? And if so, what's he pulling down after taxes?

Magnum Force gave me my first pull from a summer run fish.  Early August 2008.  The fish hesitated in the pool before making for the fast water and taking magnum force to wherever fish that brake off take flies.
