Couple of Needs

[Jay Murakoshi]

I have a couple of things I need.

I've been looking for some oars for my pram. I want them in 5' length and heavy duty in the body. Also oar locks

I also want to know where I can find a good photo of a frog. I want to copy the body for my hair frogs. I have a couple tied all ready but they don't quite look like frogs to me. Although the legs do kick back and forth

Jay,

Don't have any frog pics but I do have a frog fly pattern story. Back in the early 80's went out for a few beers with my buddy and his girlfriend. Had just come up with the frog pattern to end all frog patterns: the Frogbo. So we are throwing back some cold ones and I blurt out that I have revolutionized fly tying in the frog area and that I'm going to make a million dollars on it. The woman becomes hysterical, crying wildly and saying "all you guys care about is money"!!! She cried for fifteen minutes. It was a terrible scene out in public. You'd have thought we had killed her dog and telling her how good it ate!!! Real nightmare.

Needless to say, I have never tied another frog imitation. The trauma of that night twenty five years was too much to bear. Until now, I have not been able to publically speak about frog patterns. Maybe the healing process has begun.

I believe the feature on the Frogbo I was touting was the legs. Think I put a square knot in a bunch of peacock. Every fish loves peacock and gave the frog good swimming action. If you make a million on the idea, buy me a beer and I will promise to cry.

Jay, the internet is your friend. Use google, click on "images" and type "frog" in the search window.

It's a perfect pic of a northern leoprad frog (Rana pipians). Excellent color and patterning.
