Just figured out spinning hair yesterday and I tied these today.

 

This one turned out well. Red deer hair butt and grey deer hair body with nat. light elk hair for the wing.

These are some buzzers that I tied this month.

hook - scud sz 10-16

under body- thread

rib - fine copper wire (optional)

abdomen - small craft tubing

thorax - black thread

wing buds - pearl beaded flash

Several coats of nail polish over all

I accidentially came across the tubing one day and thought it might be a good material for something. I think it works pretty well for these.

Indicator Midge

 

Hook: Emerger Size 20-16

Thread: Black 8/0 (all colors have produced well)

Rib: Small Silver Wire

Body: Thread

Wing: White Indicator Yarn or Poly Post

Thorax: UV-Dub Peacock, Black or Dun

 

I wanted a Midge fly that I could see more easily. So I tied this emerger-style fly and it works well. -Enjoy!

Inspired by some of the very elegent flies I see tied here. Tired of tying my "ugly flies" for fish that want to eat other fish. I am so far removed from waters to use these on but I had to see what all the fuss was about. Fuss understood...fun to tie, just wish I had salmon in Tennessee! If you think you can catch a fish on them in your waters send me a self addressed stamped envelope and they are yours with a few others along the same lines.

Its been awhile since I tied any deer hair so I thought I'de warm up with a couple simple ones, Gotta love the Clown Fish Flies, fun to tie.The fly on the left is Deer hair, the right is Cow Elk. The Cow Elk is great stuff to work with and the length is greater than my Deer hair: For your viewing pleasure

Squirrel Tail Clouser. I was gifted a squirrel tail, and picked up a red squirrel tail at the fly shop. Just playing around to see what can be done with it.
