Here is a close up of a 28.5 inch speck I caught on my newest fly creation.
I know there is a category for fly fishing only, but I also figure except for a few of us, no one reads it. So I thought I would post this one photo here and if you want to read the details and disclaimer simply scroll down to the very bottom of the site for the fly fising heading. It's way down there past the hunting and food section. Just kidding Chris. I really do appreciate the category.

| If it's not a trade secret, I'd love to know how to tie that pattern. PM me or post a tutorial if you can.

| That is a neat looking fly. It is quite an achievement to sit at a vice and create something that produces a fish like that. Is that some kind of a chugger head?

| Thanks for the replies. I guess I didn't make it very clear but there are a couple other photos under the fly fishing header at the bottom of the website. Sorry about the photo alignment, I guess I didn't correct it soon enough. I tried to edit it and while it did move the photo into the correct position, I guess it was too late to compensate for the off centered replies.

Looks like the head of a 20 incher being long armed.DFA, I believe you got a good point in both the pics.I dont see much bend in those arms. I do a lot of trout fishing and catching. Looks like an average speck for this area to me.

What the hell is wrong with yall? The guy posts a NICE trout on here, and all yall can do is sit there and criticize it? Thats pathetic. Do you think that makes people want to post pics of their catch on here? No... I'm wondering why yall aren't bashing the reports of people who don't even have a picture on there. And sorry, but every fisherman i know its going to outstretch their arms for a picture of their catch. Its just the way it is, so don't bash it, congratulate him and try to catch one bigger!

It is with great regrets and shame that I am forced to face this forum. Due to the excellent detective work of DFA and sharkbait my plot to deceive the good members of PFF has been uncovered. Actually my speck was only 19 inches long and weighed less than a pound. I created my story to cover up a horrible disfiguring disorder which I have. I suffer from Toulouse Syndrome, I know you probably thought this was an intestinal/bowel disorder, but alas it is not. For those of you that do not know, it is a disease which leaves one in quite the diminutive state, much like Toulouse Letrec, the French artist after whom it was named. As you can see in the photo below I am actually only 3 FEET 1 INCH tall. And while my small stature makes life difficult, the upside is it is great when it comes to deceptive photography.
Notice the small hands and incredibly tiny feet. Perfect for creating the illusion of a much larger fish. And look at those terrible short little legs.
At first glance it may seem like a big speck head, but keep in mind my tiny hands, only three inches long from the tip of the finger to the base of the palm.
Yes PFF is lucky to have such qualified fish photo analysts as DFA and sharkbait, they help keep the rest of us honest. Condemn me not, rather take pity on my terrible condition. And if you would like to make a contribution to help find a cure for Toulouse Syndrome feel free to make a donation to the Fight Toulouse Syndrome charity, please make all checks out to Flylipps and I will see that they are properly distributed. And I ever so humbly ask for your forgiveness.
FlyLipps
P.S. Seriously that full length photo is a bit creepy!

Part of the reason I answered DFA's reply was I knew you would respond. And respond you did. It is amazing at the reponses a little bit of pokin and proding does sometimes. No offense meant to you flylipps or any one else. Im sure I will get mine on the next post. I really enjoy this forum and the variety of sportsmen it attracts. It's not my job to keep anyone honest and I dont have any right doing so. Esspecially someone handicapped witht the terrible disease you have mentioned above. I too suffer from that afflection, only it's not my arms that are shrinking.he he. Thanks again for a fine report and an outstanding catch.Most of all for being a great sport about it. Fish on...................
