FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2011 These over the last few days...Kind of chilling with the tying and focusing more on the fish lately especially casting. I tried taking photographs with my 'point and shoot' camera, i know it is bad, but i just wanted to show i have been active Some bunny leeches mainly for steelhead, has a good amount of leadfreewire along with the eyes. The one on the Right has a treble hook attachment, *this is crazy i know* but its going to be used for garpike, otherwise i would never mess around with trebles nor barbs on any fly, exception here, i think fouling fish is lame so don't do that. This is the infamous hammerhead BMS developed by Muz Wilson and re-adapted to Canada, specifically for West coast Salmon, like Pinks, swing that. This is one salty shrimp, Kirk has helped me make this fly work, not just on the flats but in the fresh, hence a leech adaption for more bass fishing. Rides very nicely I love EP minnows, i can tie them all day - here is one sneaky pattern for fishing, put on an orvis or gamakatsu salmon hook (looped up eye), leadwire 0.015, some flashabou along the body and for the tail and tied - not sure if this is 'kosher' but i'd also tie these unweighted classic style. This is just a pink bunny leech and another EP/ Hybrid Deceiver, the Deceiver is on a salmon hook...again weighted where it allows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Swedish trout hunter 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 I am working on an ephemera danica/vulgata life cycle since they are currently hatching here. Just tied a pretty nice nymph but now I have to tie new emergers to make them look like the nymphs I just have to figure out a nice spinner pattern and a spent pattern to go with the nymphs and emergers and then I´m golden Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chase Creek 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2011 Tying a batch of Hare's Ear Parachutes to send out tomorrow. Haven't tied parachutes in a while, so keeping the first 2-3 for my box. They'll fish fine, but didn't quite like the looks of them. Everything gets better with practice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
