I Got A Fever..

And the only cure is open water.. I got the itch.. Tied up my first ever warm water patterns today.. Just kinda winged it.. I'm sure they'll tie me into some fish this season...

 

 

The Trout Carrot

I have been tying and using this pattern all winter long.. And it has served me well... I was looking for a name for it.. I would just call it an "Orange Hare's Ear" but it's not a hare's ear at all in the end.. same basic pattern style.. But with differences.. So it's been officially named the "Trout Carrot"
