Who Cares what the fish think

“Think Outside the Box” - we understand the concept easy enough, but only a select view are able to to put the theory to practice. The best example I’ve seen to date is from Michael LeBlanc, who won the Gold Medal in the 2006 World Salmon Fly Tying Championship of the Quebec Federation of Atlantic Salmon.
Entitled “Tsunami” - the fly incorporates tiki huts, palm trees, and an incoming wave - all within the constraints of a traditional full dress featherwing.
Inventive, humorous, and stunning, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fly tell a story before.

I’m working on one that depicts the entire Katrina phenomenon, but I ran out of white chenille for the FEMA trailers.
