If it is Tungsten I will beat them all on price. They are 1.5mm through 3.0mm $15 per hundred and 4mm and 4.6mm $20 per hundred, shipping included.

Find you some jig heads to tie them on and it will make the process a lot easier and work just as well.
-
those flies are tied on jig heads that I painted with powder paint. I use 1/80 and 1/100 most of time.

I will probably get a chance to use them the later part of this month in Loveland, Co. If it wasnt for this site and you guys I wouldnt have known anything about Reel Recovery and now I was excepted to the Loveland trip and will get to spend 3 days with guys that share the same troubles and problems that I do and I will also get to spend 2 days fishing in Co. Thanks. Charlie Bonner

I use a float and a superlong leader and watch for a very subtle strikes. I have used up to 30 feet worth tippet and everything before most of the times the hits are on the fall.
-
Pro Tech powder paint and a lighter, just head for about 6 seconds and swipe through the powder paint and its done.
-
I will get some photos of those flies and post them on here. I dont have any photos of them right now.

It is mucillin that I have heard most folks use when greasing leaders.

Good Looking fly!
-
Skiperie I think the tail on that picture is much more important that the ones on your flies. MARK!!! Geez, I thought you fell off the planet. You stay in Arkansas much? Are we going to see you at sowbug? Charlie

Good looking fly, I dont know what it is about yellow and black but the bream and redear around here love that color combo.
-
That would be an excellent bluegill fly as well espcially tied in yellow and black. That combo seems to work the best for me here in Arkansas.
-
I am suprised that no one listed quail. I use bobwhite for most of my soft hackles because I have a local supplier. It makes excellent soft hackles and the bird also has some small feathers on it.

I take it your a fellow Razorback fan? I live in Ozark, Arkansas. I have tons of zebras, I'll put a few of them in the box.

I have some family friends that are celebrating 50 years of marriage next week. MY family is doing a big basket of goodies for them and I have been assigned flies. They will be spending the summer in the Jackson Hole Area and I am wanting some basic nyphm patters to tie up for them, they already have dries. If you have to carry say 3 or 4 dozen nymphs what would they be. Thanks.

I have a good supply of empty danville spools. How many do you want?

What tips would give me better looking flys?
parrothead replied to Joesmax's topic in Beginner's Corner
If I can one suggestion that is helped me out it would be this... when you think you have the right amount of dubbing to complete a fly cut that amount in half and then sometimes cut it by 3/4 and then dub. A lot of porportion problems stem from to much materials.
