Image Above: Trout Parr Casting Spoon, experimenting with colours
Sometimes I avoid things and build them up until when I finally
get round to them it is all a bit fraught. So I finally sat down with a trout parr,
lure blank and began experimenting with colour and pattern. Working free hand
without stencils is like riding a bike with your hands tied behind your back,
you can do it but when it goes wrong it goes very wrong although the thrill is
quite cool. I still have a way to go with this lure even though I have been
messing around with its shape for over a year, it isn't perfect but it is starting to look like the
thing I imagined.
