In case anyone was interested in my flies and chum I figured I'd post a couple of pics. I made it out this morning and dropped several chum balls. Was planning on being out fishing by now, but the wife is really busy with work so I been helping her out. After my boys soccer practice we are going out to the pond to see if the chum brought out the monster carp.

A note on these flies... the best all round color I have found is solid brown chenille for the bodies and solid black sili legs. I was out of those items in my fly tying stuff so I used the green/black legs and chenille I had. Also the flies are weighted with 5 to 7 wraps of lead substitute. I have had MANY takes as the flie drops... only telling you this cuz if you have slack in the line and big one grabs it... alot of the time the only sound you hear is POP. [blush]

Gonna be harder to catch any fish and get any video w/ the kids along, but I am still gonna try. Hope you enjoy the pics
