Here's some pics of some of my flies that have seen a fair amount of action.
Maybe some other forumers want to post pics of flies that have been chomped by tigers, snoek and the like.

"I see the fly float gently down out of the air and land on target. For less than an instant I think, how can this be? Did I actually do that? But there is no time to contemplate philosophy or magic or the rewards of hard work. A trout is on the move..." - Ed Engle, Fishing Small Flies

to para phrase Theodore o'hara
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat
The flies that fish no longer chew;
No more on Life's streams shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal fishing ground
Their silent hackles spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round
The fly box Bivouac of the dead.
Theodore O'Hara, The Bivouac of the Dead

I think no innocent species of wit or pleasantry should be suppressed; and that a good pun may be admitted among the smaller excellencies of lively conversation.

One times cape snoek, in its chops!

Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

The one on the left, looks like the remnants of something, left on the table after a wedding reception....you know, that thing that looks like it was once a part of the decor, but after the party, it is unidentifiable.Here's some pics of some of my flies that have seen a fair amount of action.

In Conrad case it was 40 leeries in short order.
Brother you should retire that fly in an honourable way - just to remind you of that few freaky fishfilled hours.
