madkasel 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 Still puzzling over mine a tad. I'm thinking a Klinkhammer, though. I have some red grizzly hackle that would work cool. White body with blue spiral wraps. Multicolored tail. We'll see!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

White body with blue spiral wraps. Multicolored tail. We'll see!! That sounds cool! I just hope my popper goes better than my sculpins...LOL its been yrs since I've spun deer hair (mostly because of the mess it creates in my truck) ....but I think they are finally coming together....not quite as elaborate as I had first hoped....but they'll fish :dunno: Floyd and David M.....I'll start a basket at the house...hopefully winefly's will show up too..... I won't lie...it may be the 1st part of next month before I get to mine...which is part of the reason for the long deadline....but if they all come in early....they'll go out early Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

netabrookie 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 I will get mine mailed out as quick as I can. I had to order more floss because I only get to use about one third of whats on a spool because my rough hands wipe out the other two thirds Does anyone have any ideas? I can sand or file the roughness away and use lotion, but I still fray the dang stuff. I guess I could do like they did in the older days, but I don't know where to find any silk gloves Take Care, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winefly 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 I know that darn pony express is slow from this part of the country. That is why email is so wonderful. Too bad we cannot send flies that way. Just hope for the best but if I have to resend them I think I can get that done in time. Winefly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deserttrout 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Some Patriotic Streamers/Buggers are flying your way. :hyst: After completing them, I think they might be a good Steelhead fly. Lot's of sparkle :yahoo: Had to change my design as I could not find my Blue Hackle so I used Blue Maribou for the top wing and that's why I added "streamer" to the name. I hope everyone like my submission. Recipe will be enclosedwith the flys Deserttrout Jim Phillips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeking 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2008 Overbrook, mailed out my flies this afternoon,but when I got home there on my desk was a pile of toe tags that were supposed to go on the flies(Someone slap me upside the head).
