good greif man, that thing is amazing! Thank you much for the tip on the hook.

Hey everybody I have spun deer hair once or twice before, but never attempted to actually make some hair poppers. These are on size 6 streamer hooks because I'm really running low on hooks. I know they aren't packed very tight, and the trimming is terrible, but all crits are welcome! I only have natural colored deer hair atm. Once I get some more practice I'm gonna invest in a bunch of colors. Thanks! Mike

Hello everybody. My names Mike. I'm 23 years old..been tying for a year or 2 now. I made this account a while ago but I always just kinda floated around never posting..so to make it official..Hey everybody!

You think 100$ is bad? Try 800$ on getting a new bike. I ride bmx pretty heavily and am getting a new Eastern ace of spades pro 2007. Great bike, terrible price!

Marabou Muddler!! I tryed tying some of these and when i spun the deer hair it went back a little to far, will it still work? I have a light brown deer hair ( only the tip is 'natural' ) and black marabou. I used marabou for the wing and underwing and peacock herl for the extra ummf. Fishing in the susky below the fibra damn. (fiber dam)

Im going to move it, but whatever people have really, anything from extra thread to an extra bunch of bucktail and anything in between. Hard to get stuff around here:/

My bench is quite the messy bench. Ill see if I can use a friends digi cam.

Hi! So far this has been a really great forum to chat on. I have been tying for a few months and I can't progress forward because I am having a very hard time getting materials. If anyone might have anything they can part with, please pm me! I would have bought my own but a job that was almost a definate went south quickly. Thank you so much! I can't wait to post some of my flys!

yes pics!

It could have died of bird flu, I wouldn't mess with it.

What ive been doing lately is TWO whip finishes and a coat of head cement, i swear those flys will never come apart.

Conehead, you sound like my grandpa, who flyfishes. :P

Flytime, i have to agree! and THANKS!

Thanks a bunch everyone! Now i get to persue my 2 passions, fly fishing and cars.

It seems as if I just got hooked up with a new job working as a part time mechanic trainee. Can't wait for the extra money for tying materials!

Ill try that on a few and see how it does for me!

DO I SEE A SPINCASTING ROD?!?!?!? j/k nice fish buddy.

Alright, that sounds about right, and on my fly..it has legs, always forget the legs.

All I did was start out like a pheasant tail nymph, same tail and body, but then i made my thorax a lot longer and not as bulky and like normal covered the top half in turkey tail for the wing case, first cast and every following cast they were smash it!

ROFL at "wonder why it isnt in your mouth"! Nice fish buddy!

Alright, I probably didnt wrap the pheasant tail tight enough then. Still 20 fish on 1 fly of my creation is no complaint, just thought maybe the nymph went because of the head cement. Thanks for the help.

Really nice looking fly! Can i order 2 dozen?

Hi! Generally how many coats of head cement are applyed to a fly and what is the normal drying time? Regards, Mike

Im going to see if i can use a friends digi cam, at the moment i have no way to get a picture of it.
