Default Fly fishing tattoos – anyone got a good ‘un?

Our world of fly fishing is visually stimulating; beautiful fish to catch, and lots of colourful flies with which to pursue them. But I’ve only once seen a really good fishing tat – and that was a pike tattooed across the shoulders of a guy who was - not unexpectedly - a piker. So many folk have tattoos today that there must a decent fishing tat or two about. Anyone here got one? Can we see?

dont have one as yet , as i asked a while back on the forum about fishing tattoos and was given a few good ideas.

I have not as yet come up with a sketch i am fully happy with to have it as my tattoo , as i am hoping to get a good size one on part of my arm / upper chest. i am in no rush to design it either as i obviously want it proper.

Who gave you permission to take it out of the pond again.

Sorry to go over old ground, James. I didn't know something similar had been asked. And yes, lets see the Koi carp, please.
