Fishyman 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 Went to a tying class Sat at the L.F.S. where we did Clousers and discussed the new book Bob Clousers got out with directions and comments on 17 of his patterns. 1. It's a great book and i bought it even though i don't have two nickels to rub together. 2. We're all tying it wrong. Fishy. :ripped: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fishyman 0 Report post Posted February 28, 2006 I could tell you all to go buy the book, but...... The two biggest things are.. 1. The eyes should be tied in at a MINIMUM of 1/3 the length back on the hook shank. 1/2 or more back is not too far depending on the hook / weight / action desired. 2. The way we are tying in the head. Most, if not all of us (myself included!) are tying to large/bulky of a head and are wrapping too close to the dumbell eyes on both sides but especially the front. The guy giving the class is pretty much strictly a Smallmouth guy and admitted that he himself had tied hundreds incorrectly before spending a little time with Bob at a show and picking up his book. I know most of us will say "Theres no way to really tie a fly wrong, it's all in the tyers style and interpretation (sp?) of the fly." I agree for the most part, but the reasons why it's tied the way it is with the weight where it is and the wraps the way they are really do affect the action. If you're a fan of Clousers flies or a dedicated Smallmouth fisherperson (pc ya know..lol)... GET THIS BOOK! Fishy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

day5 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 If any one sees shenadoangler please let him know if he isnt going to send flies Id appreciate a "piss off pin head" or something. Or better yet a "sorry Ive been busy they are on the way"!!! I have sent him 3 pms and had no response. He has been on the site recently so Im sure he has gotten them. All I want to know is if I can send the flies out now or if he is sending a set. All sets are due march 15th so he has time I just need to know if he is still in or not.
