3. "Cats can't Swim"

Hi Casey,

Well I wish I could of responded to your "cats can't swim" comment in the original post about alternative fly tying material - but I don't know how to correct the settings error I am experiencing.

But anyway I thought you should look at these.

Google Image search - pictures of swimming cats

oh, my gosh, how funny! had to show it to the rest of the cat fanciers in the family and we're all just teary-eyed with laughter.

thanks for a good air-clearing post! now that's settled, we can all toss our moggies into the pool and watch their funny faces.

however, i still maintain that a a gold-ribbed cat's hare nymph will not float!

Oh man Matt, that's just too funny!!! Heheheheheheheh...

Casey,

I once watched a squirrel swim across the South Branch of the Au Sable. It was a hoot! It's tail looked like it had been dipped in floatant and was riding like a bobber on the river. I kept waiting for a monster Brown or pike to swallow him whole...

Squirrel dubbing is sold as nymph dubbing and they can swim pretty good as well...Why not your cat dub? :) We'll call it "Casey's Cat Dub" and sell it in one of those dubbing boxes in ten "promised to score" colors! You will be rich!
