MuskyOnTheFly

Guys, I gotta drop out. I've been offered an internship and won't have enoguh time to complete my flies before the deadline. Sorry about the late notice. -Vandy

I'm in. Can't pass up an esox fly swap. I'll be tying a Blanton's Flashtail Whistler in a Chartruese color and gold flashtail. It's pretty sweet and can be used for pike and musky. -Vandy

Mine are done, plans to send em out tomorrow. Just need your address -Vandy

Mine are ready to go. Just need your address! -Vandy

Thanks everybody! I think you'll be glad to know that I got a belly-boat for my b-day. Can't wait for spring!! -Vandy

Great pics! Thanks for sharing -Vandy

Cool! -Vandy

Excellent! Great Job! -Vandy

One trick I like to use when tying hackle feathers onto toothy critter flies is to attach them using small rubber bands, much like the ones that people with braces use. This allows me to replace a destroyed hackle feather tail when the rest of the fly is still good. The only problem is they do slide around a little bit so you have to tinker with it a little bit to make em stick. Icelandic sheep is an awesome material for pike/musky flies. It's extremely durable and will take the abuse of many fish. -Vandy

Those look like they'll be killer! -Vandy

Wow! That's pretty sweet. -Vandy

What type line/leader do you use when you fish for larger fish with this fly? I use a sink-tip line when going for toothy critters and was wondering if you did the same. -Vandy

I'm in, and will also do something warmwater related. -Vandy

I'm in as "Left Turns Only" -Vandy

I like using the Mustad Signature C52S BLN hooks in sizes 4-2/0 for all of my bass bugs. It is a hook specifically designed for deer hair bass bugs. -Vandy
