What size hair stackers work the best for a wide range of different hairs? Like bucktail, kiptail, deer hair, ect.

What size bead is good for #10-16 hooks for tying grubs, nymphs and scuds? Also what is a good size wire for tying flies on #10-16 hooks?

Tied up a P&P wet fly because I saw it in a flytying book and wanted to use my new vise. Constructive criticism welcome. Hook: Mustad 3906B #10 Thread: Uni 6/0 black Tail: Brown hackle Body: Peacock Herl Wing: Pheasant Tail

Thanks for the Step by step! It looks like a great fly need to tie some of these up!

Thanks guys! I will have access to atleast 2 whole pheasant feathers as I am hunting tomorrow. Any other suggestions of flies for gills and crappies using pheasant feathers?

What can I use Pheasant Feathers for? I tie flies for bluegills and crappies. Thanks guys.

As long as you use a good size it should be fine. We use Matzuo sickle hooks on spoons when trolling Lake Michigan. They do get beat up and bend sometimes.

Tremendous job! That is one of the best crawfish patterns I have seen!

My grandpa who ties these all the time gets his tinsel from this guy. It is very good quality tinsel at a good price. And the size is perfect for tying those flies. http://www.stanleysstingerflies.com/Materi...rice%20List.htm

Nice flies D5!

Bruce this is a tube fly my grandpa ties and uses these on Lake Michigan for salmon all the time. The cone head isnt needed but can be used. What you see is the fly which is a tube fly and can slide up and down the leader which has a treble hook and beads between the treble and the fly.

Those are good flies for salmon on Lake Michigan. More of a trolling fly though. You will need to buy banded tinsel and tube for tying them on. All I like to do is to cut enough tinsel to make the fly full with tinsel. Leave the band on the tinsel and wrap the band around the tube and then tie down. That way you get a perfect looking fly thats easy to do. Let me know if you have any other questions. Hope this helps.

Forums faster! Which is awsome!

The different types of hackle and the uses like wet and dry. In other words I know nothing about hackle. :dunno:

Whats the different hackle types and there uses? Yea I know this is a real beginner question.

Yea I agree search google and even get a book.

Got a block of wood and some dowels lying around. You can easily make that into a spool holder. All I did was measure out the space needed between dowels and then drill holes in those spots then glue the dowel pieces in the holes.

I took a look at a danvise and considering buying one. One question are the jaws metal. Kind of a stupid question.

Joe Hard thanks for the suggestions! I dont have a hair stacker and I am thinking about getting one. Also thanks for everyone elses comments! I tied up another YBD Caddis but this one is on a #14 hook.

I am using 6/0.

I am looking to get some new fly tying tools. I need a new bobbin/another one, want a new and better vise. I dont want to spend over $50 on a vise. Also I think it would be good to get a ceramic bobbin. Any suggestions on brands and what to get?

I tied these up last night. Black Nosed Dace Pheasant Tail Nymph I call this one a Yellow Belly Deer Caddis If there is another name for the Yellow Belly Deer Caddis let me know. Also open to some constructive criticism.

Nice looking fly! Well done video also! Now I have to spend more money.

It might be the thread. My tan breaks easy but my black doesnt. I will get a new spool of tan and also will get a new bobbin.(Need another one anyways).

I got another question. What kind of bobbin do you guys recommend? Should I get a ceramic?
