Brian Brown75 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 T minus 29 minutes, gang, I am a little nervous, maybe the steelheaders are on the fall water. We'll see what happens, but anyone here at the hour is a true FTF super user. Cheers, Futzer. I hope we can do it weve only got 20 people on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty goo already got six on the mornin and can pretty much make them pretty round just have to use a little zap a gap here and there to keep them from spinning around the shank :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Futzer 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 Try some 6/0 thread and when you do the 3 wraps over the yarn, really crank on the tension. then do one wrap behind all the yarn and one in front. Then whip finish. Good man, Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Futzer 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 Well, we'll give it a few more minutes, but I guess it is just too good a fall day to be out fishing. Thanks to those that played along, and we will try this again sometime, say late Janurary maybe. When more of us are snowed in around the fire, tying. Cheers, Futzer. and don't forget to check out Day5's warmwater bug dvd, and the prerelease sale on now. http://www.day5flies.com/WWSDVD.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How is the Egg tying coming? Jeff. Pretty goo already got six on the mornin and can pretty much make them pretty round just have to use a little zap a gap here and there to keep them from spinning around the shank :headbang: Make a tighter base on the hook shank from the eye to the bend. Use very strong thread utc 280 d or guiderbrog "g" if you can find it. Pull hard. zapagap can make the egg hard. use head cement it tends to soak in to the core better. Making for a softer egg. Maybe Ill do a video this weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Brown75 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2008 Got you seven more eggs tied so Ive almost got a dozen. They're the bigger ones but I should get your package today and ill tie another dozen with smaller hooks. I also tied you an olive hares ear because those catch me alot of fish and so do the fire orange ones :bugeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
