Crotalus 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2012 Some more flies. I picked up some 4/0 hooks over the weekend and wanted to try them out. I am not sure about the pink/blue one, but I had some real nice pink and blue bucktail pieces so I used them. Not sure if I will be able to cast these with the 8wt or not.

SCflyguy 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2012 Hey guys, getting back into tying after a long hiatus. Here's a few I've tied in the last couple of weeks: Hope you enjoy.  Hell if thats you from a Hiatus I'd take another break! Great flies. Fancy signing up to the April 2012 swap club???  Simon, Like the caddis. Thats the second fly I've seen on here with the organza body. It produces a good effect. I'll keep my eyes open for some when wifes next in craft store.  Thanks, I always get really gung ho when I come back to a hobby.  Here's a few more from tonight:  I've dubbed this one the Golden Delicious (I hope that's not the name of another fly)  sz. 20 midge larva  sz. 22 CDC BWO  More micro flies  Copper John soft hackle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted April 25, 2012 Just trying some little size 8 wet flies for west coast salmon, fishing stuff, pretty messy work so far but it is a start! Â Can i give them silly names like Guacamole Goat Face and stuff? Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Any tips and stuff? I was pretty rough, using nasty waxed thread, i guess just keep going?
