CheyAnne,

 

Very nice steelhead fly indeed

 

My 12 year old daughter, Faiza, also has taken to tying. While I try to impart techniques, she is still free from the shackles of convention and it is always interesting to see what she comes up with. Here are two of her flies. The first one I named after she handed it to me - it simply cried out what its name was. I simply spoke out the words :bugeyes:

 

Greenwell Hangover

 

The second fly came about as we were tying together at a small show in Belgium. I was tying some WeePa's, and she asked me for one of the small hooks (Tiemco 2488 size 30), and two sections of Pearsall's Gossamer to weave the body. I guess noone told her this was a bit small hook to do weaving on

Cheers,

Hi my name is CheyAnne Maley, E. Oregon Midge, Rocky's daughter. I started tying about 9 months ago. My dad is having me tie a hairwing stealhead fly for the contest so I can enter the rookie tier thing. This fly is an example of my work, but this isn't the fly I'm entering.

Here are a couple of flies that I'm working on for the Creative Fly Swap. Not sure if these are going to be the finished product or not. Just playing around.

Hi Claudia

 

The tail is made of two pieces of foam tied on a needle. I put rubber legs between the two pieces of foam using a thing called a ‘Thread Puller'. I bought it at Wal Mart but you can buy it at most fabric shops. Works great.
