You are absolutely right about Rocky's tying abilities, and in some way his flies and others like it should be in color to appreciate them in all of the color and ornate beauty. That being said there is a certain timelessness to fly fishing and flies like Rocky's that I am able to achieve from using my Holga and black and white film. Which I think is the point.. Thanks for commenting and sharing your opinion. Brian

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Rock Maley recently, at the Wastach Fly Fishing Expo, where I was a part of a group of two other photographers that were showing our photography. He comes over to our booth with a couple of flies and asks us if we'd like to photograph them. I was very much into it, because I have never done anything like it. I told him I could do it in color but he was more than happy with me doing it black and white, he has seen these and likes them. Because they are as long as they are, I thought I'd try a Holgarama version and a single frame version too. But what about you? Does the Holgrama version work or is it best done as a single frame? Thanks! Brian

I have a few plies, mostly PMD's that have a really cool wing or parachute, I can't quite figure it out.. I can see that the wing or parachute is CDC, and it looks like it upside down or something, because it looks like lace.. What is the technique called and how do I tie it? Thanks! Brian

Thanks Lynn! I am not sure why it took me so long to realize who you were! Brian

Just thought I'd share this with you here, that in the Winter 2011 issue of Fly Rod & Reel there is a write up about my Holga photography written by Bob White. Check out page 18 in Bob's "An Angle on Art" column. Brian

Santa bring any fly tying Tools for you????
mtbbrian replied to flyfishing99's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
I got a bunch of tieing stuff, which included River Road Creations may fly body and wing cutters, in size 10 and 20. I have never used them and thought I'd try them, for drakes and BWO's. I am having a difficult time trying to figure out to create those great segmented bodies though. Anyone have any tutorials or tips for using them and creating bodies? Thanks! Brian -
I was wondering, do you coat your bullet head flies at all, say with finger nail polish, head cement or anything like that? Or do you fish them au natruale? Which is better? Thanks! Brian

I have been tying some Madame X's and have two questions.... I have done them with both elk and deer for the head and seem to get better results from the deer. Is one better than the other for this technique? Also, I was wondering how do you finish the head. I have a Madame X that I bought, and the head seems to be coated in a resin or something. I know that the coating will help the fly last, but what is it coated in. Thanks! Brian

I am looking to do some carp fishing and have tied the following flies. I'll be doing it mostly on a river. Brian
