TheCream 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 KHoss- two very nice ties, especially like the one with green. CREAM- wow! I have just started with making my own poppers and I am VERY impressed by your painting skills. Yours are perfect. How do you do it? Trial and error! Thanks for the compliments.

nightheron 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2011 I wish my first effort at a spoon fly looked so good. Just a suggestion, instead of applying your epoxy over the body then applying the eye with an adhesive after, you can skip that step by applying your eye before you epoxy. I also put eyes on both sides of my spoon flies and probably more for me than the fish I color in a little red for gills. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notenuftoys 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2011 Starting to tie some different saltwater pattern. I have a long list of materials to order from J Stockard, but here's a couple I've done up tonight. This is the first bendback and surf candy flies I've ever tied, so they will only get better.
