  1. You bet have at least 15 wraps of lead under the dubbed body, should sink like a stone!
  2. Hello all, its been a long time...dang I just completed my no-hackle DVD recently next I am working on an O series (O for ostrich). This is a caddis pupae from this series, I hope to do a DVD on this series this winter. Any way there isn't much to this fly but I have folded ostrich as a palmer and tried to sink between the dubbing wraps to protect the quill. Hope you all like it.
  3. I have a lot of luck with this fly on selective fish. Picture a size 20 but I fish a lot of times down to 24s on this pattern. Trout season, no time to tie Atlantic Salmon Flies![ attachmentid=3795]
  4. TMC 100 #14 spun hair hoppers. Going to tie at my next demonstration West Denver TU fly tying clinic. Starting to get cabin fever, need to put some flies on the water soon.
  5. I posted this to answer question in Fly Tying Bench. I strip the barbules off my quills and like long graguating fiber thickness. For this fly I simply used one of the long rooster hackles off the top of a Whithing rooster cape. I also will use the webby saddle feathers (that I don't use for much else) from Whinting's saddle patches, this is for really fine stem for such as midges. Hope this helps on old fart out... I am an old fart too.
  6. I'll post a red quill shortly in coldwater section and will address your question there.
  7. When I user herl I dub it on thread or on wire to create a chaneil (rope) so fish teeth won't distroy. When tyind such as prince nymph on a size 18 hook (or smaller) I use the long herls that are very slender that come out at the very sides of the eyes. This makes a nice slender body that is appropriate for the size of the fly. Also in classic books I believe some of the Castskill dry files? Strip the heral off the eye with an ereaser, lighten up with mild bleech and use as quill body. I can't remember the exact fly by name which used this technique (sorry) you'll have to research this one.
  8. This is falling off a log. I-25 South to 58th Ave. 58th Ave East and the Merchant Mart entrance for the show is just behind the Quality Inn hotel a 9 foot shooting line cast from the exit on the North side of 58th. See ya there. Scott
  9. Jan 6, 7 and 8th. I'll be there the 7th and 8th Chuck the 6th and the 7th. 6th - 11 am to 6 pm 7th - 9 am - 5:30 pm 8th - 9 am - 4:30 pm
  10. Gee I've seen so many wet flies lately I thought I'd try my hand at it. I have a little more homework to do. I think the secret to short head on these is to tie the wings in your fingers (pre tied wings if you will) before mounting. This is a trick tha Paul Fillipone taught me, works well for underwinging on such as Jock Scot as well.
  11. Yes I used duck quill. Interesting you should ask... For my no hackles I use duck from size 14 to 18, use teal for 20 to 26 and use goose for large size 10s which is probably the best green drake pattern I have ever put on the water. I find just like deer hair or anything else that has to be sized so too does the coarsness of winging material.
  12. I tied and fished these many years ago, no twisting problem that I remember. I forgot about this pattern and have not tied or fished in years. I was thumbing through books to find something unusual to demonstrate at upcoming Fly Fishing Show in Denver and voila! I will be doing this fly along with others at the show. I know that it gets boring for visitors to see same thing every year so I try to pick at least something less common each year. I am hoping that the visitors will like this one.. Wish me luck.
  13. Size 16 Swisher & Richards spent caddis. Note that the wings are tied in Dee style for you Salmon tiers. Point is that many Salmon fly techniques are very useful in trout fly tying as well. I hope that I have done this pattern justice.
  14. Ok, that didn't work. Will try Jungle Don that I uploaded a while back, same story hook hand made.
