Fish Taco

[EBorraga]

One of my winter Hobbies. I love tying flies, and fly fish all fall, winter, and spring. Here are some from the bench this weekend. The fish taco was a challenge from a buddy. We'll know soon if it will catch fish!!

Great job Ernie. Happy fishing.

If you use it enough, it will catch'em.

There was a local fly flinger that tied a small cluster of white calf hair or something similar on a hook and caught some big trout. I'll see if I can get a photo.
Edit- It's on a defunct website. Can't locate it.

By your title I was expecting something to eat... first time I had fish taco's was in '95 in Tucson at a little hole in the wall restaurant called Chuy's... still trying to re-create the taste...



Nice flys though... I've tried fly fishing a number of times... haven't mastered the cast yet, but I can whip that line around so good I flip flys everywhere, mostly into the trees or somewhere way behind me... never on the end of my line in the water. :frown::redface:

My guess is that you'll get a hit at some point, but those 'clouser-like' minnows will take the day!

Nice batch...

You have too many hobbies.

Thanks. The clousers are a huge hit on the creek i fish. It's a spring fed creek and has some nice Bass in it as the weather gets colder.

Nice work Ernie. The fish taco is a good conversation piece if nothing else.

Maybe you need to stand with your back to the water. :biggrin:

If I want fish before starving I have to stand at the counter.

Chuck, there is a Chuy's in Chattanooga on Gunbarrel Road, just off Shallowford Road. Cheddar's had fish tacos and dropped them from the menu.
BTW, Chuck, I plan on getting up to the Tellico; not sure when. Will contact you.

There's a Chuy's in Farragut near Knoxville also, don't think they're the same company as Tucson...



Great, look forward to your visit... we have another turner friend here in Tellico as well... will be a fun get together.

that looks so good makes me want to bit it, beautiful workmanship.

Aside- A quick look at Chuy's Tex-Mex shows El Paso at the western most store. I'm guessing that it is a common name.
