These produce some fish here, so I thought I'd try to copy 'em. What do you guys think? Thanks!!
-
Well finally had a chance to fish these today! the red copper john pulled out this! ~22 rainbow!! THANKS EVERYONE!!
-
Well after looking at the proper way, I tried to do it (minus the legs). I don't think its worth the effort as I tend to lose to many flies at it is. I tried to taper the body on these more. I tried to do a different background for the pic, but couldn't get them to turn out good. Anyways, how are these??? Thanks, once again!!

Joe, Thanks for the link. Arkle, I agree, maybe i should start with the original and go from there, that will be on the list to do when i sit down to tie next. Joe Hard, ill work on the taper of the bodies, I try to but not enough i guess. thanks for the other tips. DIn

First I want to thank all of you who take the time to respond to everyones questions. I know I greatly appreciate everyones help and suggestions, as I have no one to compare my flies to, or tie with. Here's some pheasant tails I tied up. How do they look? I think they are not bad for my 1st attempt. Question about the wings, what i have done is just split them hold them back and wrap with thread wraps, is that okay? doesnt seem right to me when im doing it....
-
Arkle, Thanks for the kind words. Glad that I am making progress, spent enough money so I was hoping to make some progress!! The dubbing thing you have described sounds a bit complicated, but when I get a chance I will try to figure it out. Dubbing drives me nuts already!! either too much or not enough....AARRGHHH!! I will try to find the article on "CJ's". DO you know the name of the tyer?? Thanks again, Din

Thanks guys, Haven't learned how to do a dubbing loop, may have to look into that. thanks for the tip. im was using 8/0 thread, but i tend to make heads bigger b/c im afraid of them being too small and not strong enough! Thanks again Here's some copper john's I tied just recently as well. they seem to work with what I do!!
-
Tied these in sizes 12,14 and 16. Used both olive and grey dubbing. Opinions welcome!!
-
Just tied up 2 of these, but figured I should stop and see if I need to change something! Tried my best with my camera, but interested to see what you guys think!! Thanks, once again!

Smokinprice, Sorry I missed ur question. I just went for it. Looked at a normal wooly bugger then just thought I'd try throwing a conehead on. The 1st ones I tied w/o coneheads, stunk and fell apart right away, and I have yet to try these out yet. Sorry, that prolly doesnt help!!

Harold, I was using grizzley hackle. For some reason I couldnt get the individual fibres to seperate when I wrapped it. I did three full turns at the head then tied it off. I also used the grizzley for the tail, b/c I didn't have any maribou feathers. Mike, I wasn't having problems with the thread breaking. But now I see, as ppl have pointed out, the get rid of the gap b/w the eyes and bucktail, and I think that should eliminate the problem. Thanks
-
Hairstacker, thanks for tips. I will give them a whirl and see how it turns out. U have it right how I tied in the bucktail. THe reason I did it was so I could get the thread in place then have a easier verticle pull on the bucktail(if that makes sense). A couple of the ones I tied I used a ridiculus amount of material, and this one is probably the least that I had used, so I will still try to eliminate some and see how it turns out. THanks again
