Fly Tying

Flies from the vice.

Hey guys, here's my first fly on here B)

 

It's obviously a Royal Wulff. I have used a synthetic material instead of white calf tail, as I find it floats far better. I'm 16 and have only started tying. Constructive criticism is certainly welcome :lol:

Nice looking fly and I have to agree with you. I too use Antron for my parachute patterns because it does seem to float better.

I was bored with Royal Wulffs, so I refused to tie any tonight. I wanted to tie a soft hackle, but I didn't know what to tie... this was the result. I could have put an extra turn or two on the head as it's unfinished. And upon closer examination, I could have picked a better partridge feather... regardless, I like how shiny it is!

 

sz 16 1xl with UTC XSM tinsel and Lagartun X-Fine oval tinsel.

Nope, Brian... I think it's a little too long. The hackle should be about 1.5x the hook gape and the wing should be 2x the gape. I tried to edit the picture in Photoshop to show the proper proportions, but the program is acting wonky. I'll try again later.

Dart, that is just about perfect. I tie all my softies with a sparse hackle. Cheers, Futzer.

Editing?? Just post what you tie. With all the incredible talent and storehouse of tying years here, it will be the best way to learn.

Just tying some Salmon flies for the comming Salmon fishing season i the northern part of Norway.

DK Fly

That's a fish catcher. Nice to see a "hard working" everyman's type of salmon fly. :headbang:

Great colors for even my oft too frequent humble stockies.

What on earth did you use as body material? it looks Great and very lifelike!!!

 

Claudia, it is not one I tied, but part of a set submitted to Flytier's Page by a Stateside tier.

 

The case on this Cased Caddis is material from the waste troll - bits of deer hair, flashabou, peacock herl, buits of assorted fluff and dubbing - inserted in a dubbing loop, twisted, wrapped and trimmed roughly to shape.

 

Up close looks pretty impressive, I think :rolleyes:

 

Here is another from the same set

 

 

Cheers,

Hans W

 

Hans is that cased caddis waste just dubbed on or some other technique?

Here is the pic with the legs added

I also tried another

Don’t have a name for this one yet. I made it up as I went. Turned out pretty cool. I spun different colors of deer hair than trimmed it down like a popper and made the head with grey sculpin wool and added red damsel eyes. I will be adding rubber legs to it also. I forgot to do that tonight. I will post a new pic when I add them.

Tied 4 each of the Parachute Sulfurs and white and black Parachute Midges. All #16s
