jhammer 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 I wanted to share a pic with you guys of the flies I tied up. Turns out the little Panfish Charlies have been going pretty quick down at the bait store! Not bad for someone who shakes like a rock tumbler huh? Hahahaha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockworm 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Nice-looking flies. Elegant yet simple! My kids and I are going to tye up a few and try them out on the local bluegills. What size and style hook do you use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve P 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Best hook I have found is the eagle claw 084M from wally world, and it looks exactly like that one in the picture. I normally use a #6 but will on occasion go to a 4 or 2. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MowestFlyfisher 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 I use the same hooks for these flies and i use poly yarn for the wing but I am sure others use different stuff for it it's just what I had lying around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jhammer 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 The wing is made of yarn and the bodies are floss. They sure are quick and fun to tie! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhammer 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2011 Nope, just wrapped it with some pretty good pressure. I never had any problems with fish damage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
