bluegill576 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 ok i think ill do a stone drone, but could somebody either post the recipe or a link to a recipe. Thanks I think this is the recipe for it.. Gamukatsu s10 barbless hook. 4mm tung bead 70 denier UTC thread Grizzley Brown/Black rubber legs 0.020 lead Brassie copper wire Embroidery threads yellow/brown Mike Mercer yellow stonefly dub thorax stonefly color thinskin for 2 wing cases What size do you think I should tie them in? 8 or 10 Wait..I was just looking at some pictures of the fly and where is the wing case? Heres a good pic. Not tied by me though. Ok thanks a lot for the picture. One last question, do you tie in the rubber legs in the front before you put the bead on? Yes. I put the bead on the hook. Then the hook in the vise. Then I slide the bead backwards towards the bend so its out of my way. Then I attach the rubber legs. Then I slide up the bead. but would you whip finish and then put the thread back on so it doesn't go over the bead? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaeronf 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Yes you would. I whip finish back farther (near the 1/3 part) so when I pull my bead over i can restart the thread on the whip finish knot so it will never come out. Don't forget glue on the tie in point of the antennae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NJFlyMAn 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Fishingbobnelson,mybadhabit,dezod thanks for stepping up and joining the swap. I just didn't want the other swappers who signed up going out of their way tying 12 flies and we only get six swappers for the swap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJFlyMAn 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2011 Geeze, I was FORCED to go to the fly shop to buy some stuff to be in this swap. I did manage to tie my first one after returning home with my bag of goodies. Apparently I will either have a bunch of rejects or a pile of razorblade debris before I get 12 to send. LOL...Bob, Don't feel bad. I'm sure I'll be doing the same exact thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
