wes917 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2011 I recieved flies from jacktjl and Yetavon today. Great ties guys and thanks for the extra's. I have yet to hear back from Dadalo so I'm assuming that he is going to be MIA. I suppose that I should have known better than allow someone to join with their first post. I will randomly distribute everyone's extra fly so we all still get the anticipated number of flies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert M 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2011 Here is what I sent: Beaded Ant Hook - size 10-16 dry or nymph standard 1X down eye (14 for this one) Thread - 6/0 or smaller color to contrast or match ant color (black 6/0 for this fly) Head - single tan/orange seed bead Abdomen - 2-tan/orange seed beads with one gun metal seed bead in between Legs - 3-4 pieces of deer hair wrapped in at thorax Coat all seed beads with a drop of Aleene's Fabric Fusion. A second coat can be applied if you are looking for more translucency and have room at the gap/gape. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A second coat can be applied if you are looking for more translucency and have room at the gap/gape. These are quite similar to the Salt & Pepper ant that I've tied for the swap: Hook: #12 wide gap for the swap Thread: Black 6/0 Abdomen: White glass beads Legs: Hare’s hare spun in dubbing loop Thorax: Black glass bead(s) - one bead for the swap, 2 depending on size of bead. Thread bump at back end of abdomen, with spot of superglue to hold the beads in place. They will be in the mail shortly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
