Sir

 

Thank you for the roses...I tried to send you a link to some other flies I have on my page....but it was´nt possible... Unfortunately... Anyway..on my page I have some tricks for the tube-fly-angler

 

By the way a wonderful page you have....I used to tie traditionals as a profession for a couple of years in the late eighties...as I inherited a large collection of feathers from the 50´ties....Tied every bit up and sold the flies at 25 $ to anglers in Denmark and Norway (at that time a fair price)

 

I still do Spey and Dee flies when I find the hooks and feathers ....DSC_5493.jpg

 

Kind regards

Sir... I belive you are thinking of the wing ?

 

I am not sure so I willl write in more general terms..

 

The bomber has a rear and front part of hair... Tail and head...Both are fairly dens and choice of material varies from rivers - most commonly used are: Calf's and buck tail

 

I and others fly tiers will tilt the wing in a angle to the water so as to look like a wing from a insect... It also doubles as indicator - so the angler can spot the fly out on the river..

 

I hope the answer was satisfactory

 

Kind regards

thanks for sharing!! My bombers look ok but yours is amazing!

 

Sir thank you for the kind words... Do you tie them on tube as well ?

 

And if so what diameter tubing do you use ?

 

Kind regards
