smalliestalker replied to smalliestalker's topic in The Fly Tying Bench
thanks for checking them out......ChuckingFluff......those subbugs are cool....they look almost like a diver...I'm definetly going to make some of those.....thanks for sharing...... -
zoo cougars are an amazing fly for both warm and cold water......originally designed by Kelly Galloup to catch big browns, this fly is awesome for all predatory fish. If you aren't using them, you are missing out......This was my morning tying before work today....enjoy
-
Deeky....you make some beautiful flies.....
-
I wrap it with the hide still attached....makes for a more solid fly
-

hello.....welcome to the forum....lot's of info available here...some of the best tyers around are on this site....I'm going to Maine this summer.....portland area.....looking forward to the trip

I use a 9ft 6 weight, if it's windy I use a 9ft 8 wt.....a lot of the time when I'm going for just panfish I actually use a 4 wt.....caught plenty of bass on that as well....if you use a little heavier fly line on your 6 wt, and a shorter more stout leader, you can turn over big deer hair bugs with no problem....

i'm cool with waiting a few days.....I'd rather have a complete set......

When fishing smallmouth....75% of the time it's a big streamer of some sort, 15% of the time crayfish imitation, 10% surface like a diver.....Largemouth/pickerel....80% of the time surface with a deer hair bass bug...20% of the time subsurface streamers...favorite is zoo cougar patterns....Walleye....100% streamers and leech patterns.....Trout.....80% dries...20% streamers....I hate nymphing.....I never do it.....

I agree dead-on with Hairstacker...I tie a ton of Clousers.....It's the thread that I use...6/0 is good for small flies....where you don't have to compress a lot of hair....

it'll dive....when i make mine...i like to tie in a bigger collar....i stack the tips of the hair even and tie a huge collar as if tying a zoo cougar, then tie in more hair for the trimmed part of the collar.....just a personnal preference.....you have the shape down though....
