Flytier
Imagine a misty morning on the lake,.....after staying up by moonlight tying flys Sasquatch pads softly down to his local lake,.....Armed with his flys, willow rod,.braided cedar line and leader he stalks his age old prey,......the elusive Ogopogo.
Sasquatch,.being a "purist" uses only natural materials gleaned from his local environment, but conceeds the necessity of using bent bicycle spokes discarded by his hominid cousins for the necessary hooks...
His favorite patterns:
from select fall grasses, "the Sasquatch Hopper"
from a single branch of a pine tree, " the Sasquatch Hornet"
Usually fished "dead drift" both flies are very effective, though this has never been verified as Sasquatch always catches and releases....
