bluegill576 0 Report post Posted January 29, 2012 Sorry for not posting the contest last week, I can never seem to remember. The category for this week is an idea of sukhoidave here is what he wrote "I would like to make a proposal for the next contest. How about a 4 part wet fly - that is only 4 parts beside the hook and thread - so basically a simple wet fly with a tail of 1 material, a body of 1 material, a simple 1 material wing, and 1 material hackle. If you want to add a tag you would have to forfeit another part like no tail or add a rib and forfeit the wing as in a soft hackle... Get the idea?" you must put the name of the fly, recipe for the fly, a picture of the fly halfway done and a picture of the finished fly. you must have your flies in by thursday at 10 pm est. Please participate to keep the weekly contest going. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrFlyFisherGuy 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 This fly is my original design used for streams containing cutthroat trout as this imitates a small cuttie good for catching a trophy fish feeding on cutties. Jake's Cutthroat Streamer Thread: White Hook: Size 4 Streamer Head Big Black Fly Eyes Hook Shank: Lead Wire Added For Weight Body: White Marabou (top) Olive Mohair Yarn (Bottom) Pink Rabbit Strip (Side) Brown/Yellow Hackle Extra: After fly is made, take a black sharpie and make markings on the body of the fly.

sukhoidave 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 Nice flies. 6 people in so far and there is still tomorrow if you haven't joined yet. Thank goodness there's still tomorrow. It was my idea so I wanted to participate - I'm gonna be doing a demo of this fly in March so I wanted to practice it some before. This is my second go at it, but I've tied a bunch of classic "Bergman" wets. This is a Bog Pond wet fly Hook Mustad 3906 This is a size 6(new style apparently - micro barb and really heavy...) Thread Black 6/0 Danville Flymaster Tail - Golden Pheasant tippet fibers Body - Black chennile - this is size "fine" Wing - Mottled turkey wing quill slips Hackle - Grizzly hen neck. I'm not sure I understand the idea of the half way picture - my wife had the camera when I was tying so I tied a half of the fly and another complete fly and managed to get 1 decent picture of them both. Thanks for looking and to those who submitted a fly this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polarbear78 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2012 I'm not sure I understand the idea of the half way picture - I think it is just to show that you actually did tie it and not buy it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
