The Contented Angler
"A Genuine Fly Shop"
Nothing like swinging flies on the cat. Reminds me of
Atlantic Salmon Fishing. We believe this new series,
made with Hareline's Baitfish Emulator Flash,  will
provide some memorable days. Flies are dressed on
Daiichi 2010 salmon/steelhead hook and Daiichi X472.

Truth be told, there really are no new patterns today.
There are patterns tied with new material using old
methods. However, flies need to be named. Quite often
someone will come in the shop and say :" I got a fly
from you and I don't no the name of it. Without a
sample or name, it becomes quite difficult to find the
pattern. So, the "Swingin' cat" series is simply a
demonstration of a new material using named flies.
Color combinations are endless. I can see some great
saltwater flies coming from this material.
Of Course we don't throw away the scraps from the SC
Series. We use these for the "Scrappy Minnow".

"Having cast your fly-say a little across and downwards, let it
sweep round into the stream. You needn't humor it, it will
find it's place without it, and will not require any humoring on
your part beyond free permission to do as it likes ; and be
sure to keep an eye upon it just as it sweeps into the stream,
for that is a very fatal moment, and it is odds, if there's "a
fusshe aboot", if you don't at the last fatal curve see a boil,
ay, and feel a pluck too, if you are not in too great haste,
which will send your blood spinning with ecxitement."
