I've been tying Quill Gordons and a typically stripped quill is stretching it to tie on a size 12 hook. Are you into a source for stripped quills of extraordinary length? i use mustad 3906B size 10 for winged wet flies the stripped quills were longer than polish quills which are rather short Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the hooks to be size 4 or so! I've got peacock quills I stripped and they're long, but so thin at the little end that there's no definition.

SteeseRanley 0 Report post Posted October 28 #2 - Crabby Patty https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BePi7bUPVM&t=7s First attempt at tying some salt water patterns for the surf here in CA. I think it turned out fairly well but maybe the shell is oversized. I also made a version where I soaked the shell in UV resin, I think it looks nice but, I'm interested to see if both catch fish. #2 EP Minnow This is my first attempt at tying this style of fly and I'm mostly pleased with how it came out. I feel like it could be a bit wider at the front, with more of a rearward taper? The other thing I added that I'm somewhat on the fence about is the inclusion of the large flashabou down the sides. It might be a bit too large/bold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
