letumgo 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Awesome fly, John! It reminds me a lot of the flies tyed by David (davidstrout). I bet this bad boy will look KILLER in the water. :punk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frank G. Swarner III 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Sweet conversion.....a fish catcher for sure.. I'd like to see the white wings a bit longer.......out to the eye of the JC....but that's just me. Looking forward to seeing some more conversions.

willowhead 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2007 Hey John.....i was thinkin' the same thing as Frank said.....the wing would look even better a bit longer. But thass a KILLER fly Bro. You got messesd up by David's flies same as i did i can see. I know it's not easy to find white winging material that is really long either. Maybe just another wound hackle of white eared pheasent would do the trick. Love your design though. So you bought some of that Black Rhea off e-bay. DAMN, i guess i'm gonna have to get an e-bay account after all........ there goes another **** load of $$$$$$................ Oh well........an armored car don't follow a hearst. :hyst: later, mark..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catskilljohn 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks for the comments guys, and the ideas...its funny how sometimes something "seems" right when you do it, and then you look at it later and say, "did I tye that?!?!" :hyst: Mark, the Rhea is from Jack Cook out west, man does he have the goods for Spey flys! I just sent him an order for a selection of colors to do some more patterns, I will post them as I get them done. thanks again guys, CJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
