Fly Tying
Claudia

Flies from the vice.

Recommended Posts

I've been playing around with CDC recently and since its so expensive I try to make the most of it. I noticed when I trim it off after making a dun the tips look like the pic posted below so I thought they might make some nice neat wings for a micro caddis. What do ya think? Just developing the idea so any suggestions are more than welcome. Its a #20 dry hook with 3 CDC feathers for the wing.

Blake,

 

That will work just fine. Never hurts to put the "scraps" to some better use.

I have been working on Fuzzy Nymphs lately. These may look like crap, but to the fish, they look good enough to eat.

Never underestimate the appeal of crap to a hungry trout! They have very strange tastes.

I still remember how I invited a big fat rainbow as guest of honor to dinner and found his belly packed full of cigar butts.

Claudia,

 

Those are amazing did you make the hooks aswell? I now have a new wallpaper on my computer at work. I can't wait to see your flies from the Second chancers swap. We will be the last ones to get them, you for sure. Hope all is well.

Hello all, this is my first posting. I'm tying gray ghost streamers and a new pattern ( my streamer version of an orange rapala ) for landlocked salmon here in Labrador.
