Tageater got a thread going about fishing and that got me thinking about some of the flies I've tied in the past. I used some strange materials, one of the best flies came out of the lint in the seatcover of my old '72 chevy truck. It had white and blue and red, and black colors in it and pockets all along the front and they would collect lint from the cover, so I dug it out and tied flies with it, just little nymphs, alot like a hare's ear. Caught the crap outta the fish too!! I'd try black, brown, grey, olive, and not do too well, then I'd throw on the lint fly and whammo!! Then I tried lint from the dryer, doesn't work worth a crap. There was something about the seatcoaver fibers that made for great flies.
I was headed over to a buddies house and they had one of those orange and white cats, well right by his front door was a piece of this cat, maybe it got in a fight, I dunno, got me a nice chunk of cat hair, took it home and made a wooly bugger with it, took it up on the local river and booyah!! I'll never forget the look on my buddies face when I asked him if I could have the cat hair!
I know there's more, I just gotta remember....
