Hi everyone! I have been away for awhile and just getting back to tying. This is a Pats rubber legs extended body.

Nice looking flies, Chia. I tied a few of these up awhile back and didn't like the way the chenille looked wrapped around the eyes. So I tried using some Ice Dubbing and wrapping that around the eyes. It seemed to look better to me, but either way they will still fish.

Ron, don't sell yourself short man. Those nymphs will definitely fish! They look great!

What Mike said, if you're not a commercial tier it will serve the purpose. I tied on the one I had for at least 10 years and it did every thing I expected it to do.

My 1st rotary vise looked just like that one. It was a made in India knock off. I bought it at Jann's NetCraft in Maumee, Ohio about 20 years ago.

Papa, that mouse will definitely work! I don't even bother putting eyes or ears on mine and they still catch fish!

I think those might catch some steelhead out of the Lake Erie tribs. Don't ya know that's exactly where I'm gonna drift them! Good luck when you go. Maybe one of these days we'll get some water in the rivers up there!

Dubs, I like the looks of these! They should work good.

Thanks Kirk.

Here's a sz. 14 Goddard Caddis I did awhile back.

Nice looking flies, Frank! That color pattern should get some looks.

Kirk, on your rabbit streamer, do you dub the body and then brush it out or do you use a dubbing loop?

Nice looking flies guys! Joe I would have to have a wooly bugger in the mix. What is the red on your fly? Chennille or yarn?

I have seen trout like that as well as a smallmouth bass.

In the article he says he has been tying for a whole 2 months and is still having some trouble! Enough said!!!

I went back and looked at yours. There's nothing wrong with the way you clipped the back end. I've seen them done both ways. They will still catch fish trimmed either way.

Tied up a few of these for bluegills and trout, sz. 14.

utyer thanks for the explanation on the flies.I think I understand what you're doing.

Those look pretty sweet utyer! Could you maybe do a SBS for us?

agn54, check and see if your camera has a Macro setting. That's what I set mine to so I can take close up pictures.

It looks pretty darn good to me! Go catch some trout on it.

Maybe try this one out for a sunfish fly. I tied up a few but really haven't fished them much. http://www.flyfishohio.com/fatal_attraction_baby_pumpkinseed.htm

can you say AWESOME!!!!!!

I'm no carp expert either but have caught several on the long rod. I would also try some crawdad imitations and larger nymphs like a hares ear sz. 10
