92Esquire 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Here's this weekends playing around with my new vise. Front left is a pile of BH Prince Nymphs (16 and 18s), Zebra Midges (22's), Serentipities (22's), and Craft Store Midges (18's and 20's), Front center are some BH Sparkle PT's in olive (16s), Back center are bendbacks in 4 and 1/0, and the center of the frame is the start of trying to tie 14 dozen flies for a Casting for Recovery event. These are Charlie Craven's CB Hoppers in size 10. None of them are spectacular, but a few of 'em should catch fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigLost 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 I just finish an order for a customer in Wyoming for several dozen Sandy Mites (one of the Potts series of flies). The body and hackle are tied out of horse mane. Take care & ... Tight Lines - Al Beatty www.btsflyfishing.com Al, I tie most of my nymphs with the pots weave and horse hair. I also tie a cranefly imitation with horse mane and potts weave. The hackle is weaved in with the hair. The fly is indestructible. My fav river (The Big Lost River) is full of them so pulling them upstream (even against the current) snakes out killer strikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
92Esquire 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Nice flies, sweet dyna king, how did you make those hoppers? :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: Yeah, I'm pretty lucky with that Dyna-King, it's a Barracuda Indexer that I got a "couldn't pass up" deal on. I'm still getting used to it, but I like it very much so far. The hopper is from Charlie's Fly Box: Charlie Boy Hopper. The only differences on mine are that I'm using brown web-wing (couldn't find tan at the shop), and I put about 8 strands of "Fire Orange" Fluorescent Krystal Flash between the web-wing and the deer hair. They're a pretty quick tie and float like a cork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyfshn76 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Those are great looking flies Jack. I have been practicing on the woven body technique for some time. Coming along very slowly though. GOOD JOB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacktjl 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2008 Thanks for the comment. I used some inexpensive embroidery floss (35 cents a skein) from Michael's craft store. I think the secret is to use materials that have the same diameter and texture in order to have a smooth body. Using different diameters usually ends up with the thicker diameter overwhelming the smalller diameter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
