I been thinking about writing/making a new fly tying book.

Heh, knowing the kinds of "flies" you tie I recommend
_Whirligigs, Contraptions and Other Oddities_ , or how
about _Weird Marvels in Foam and Plastic_. In any case
I would avoid the word "flies" at all costs.

You mean oddities like this?

Yes, that's a good fly. I've caught a bunch of good fish with that one.

Carp fishing's been getting popular here recently. A few shops even book
guided trips to lower, warm-water rivers in late summer. It turns out
carp are not easy to catch, and they do get huge: upwards of 15 lbs in a
few areas.

The guides have fun with the fly names.
They fish with creations like the "Loogie" and "Sea Gull ****."

I've git one I call the "Dingle Berry" made with brown chennile and white
yarn.

Here's a photo link, to my new pattern, named the "Dingleberry"
This one is made entirely from natural materials:
duck flank, rooster hackle and thread.
This one is tied on a #22 Daiichi 1130

Sweet ! Now that's a fly. But #22 ?!? Do you really fish
flies that small or do you just tie them out of masochism ?
