letumgo 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Man, those look awesome with the argus feathers. I've never seen them tied with that feather before. Outstanding! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Hey, Bruce. Awesome looking fly. Those are too pretty to fish with. You'd better put that thing in a frame! BTW, anyone, what is an Argus Feather? BB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isonychia 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Try 'em sometime using Peacock secondary quill, golden pheasant tail or amgold pheasant tail. Those materials also make great looking Muddler tails/wings! John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redleg 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Great way to salvage your stuff that us barely useable or too short for the display flies! They look great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Derington 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah, thats exactly the deal, in fact , a handful of years ago, fellow tyer Rick Whorwood didn't have a use for this short stuff so he gave me his scraps. Well one mans junk is anothers --- well you know the rest P.S. the picture of the argus feather above is actually a wing feather, and if you go to FeathersMc.com and click on winging materials you can see the various feathers of that bird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Inman 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2007 Very cool Bruce. I was talking with John and he told me how you used to use Kori (before it was free), Argus and a couple other exotic materials for the wings. Thanks for posting, they are definitely unique.
