Hi Curt,
Thanks for your comment,
I learned to tie flys a few years ago from my sister in-law.
She and my Brother live in Oregon and fly fish there.
She ties flys from their kitties fur and taught me to do
the same using the fur for dubbing.
She says the fur attracts fish because of the way it
looks in the water, and also the smell.
They have had lots of luck fishing with lures tied from
their Kitties fur.
Also just for fun I was working on a mini model
one day at my Fly tying desk and thought,,,
Hey that's about the same size as a Dragon Fly lure I tie.
So,,, I added a hook to the fuselage and made it into a lure.
I have done several like this and mounted them in clear
plastic boxes for display.
One day I plan to catch a fish with one.
Here for you are some pictures of my paper airplane
fishing lures to see.
Hope you like them too.
Best Regards,
Gary
