Production flies

[Capt Bob LeMay 0]

Here's some of my current production. As my bookings begin to slow down I'm spending more and more time at the bench - these will be in the bins of two local shops...

 

This is an old pattern (not one of mine) called the Chinese Claw...

 

Here's the specs...

Hook- Owner Aki, 2/0

Spreader- calf tail, dyed black

Wings- large neck hackle, white then yellow then grizz on each side

Flash- a few strands of pearl Flashabou Accent

Collar- one dyed black saddle with one grizz saddle

Thread- Danville's flat waxed, black

 

The Cockroach is another old standby that's very effective...

 

Hook- Owner Aki, 2/0

Spreader- natural brown bucktail

Wings- Neck hackle, grizzly, three on a side

Flash- a few strands of pearl Flashabou Accent

Thread- Danville's Flat waxed nylon, black

 

This is the Neon Bendback, one of my own patterns

 

Hook- Mustad 34007, 1/0, bent (but not too much)

Wing- Bucktail, white, with yellow then fl. pink over

Flash- Pearl over the white, fl. yellow over the yellow bucktail

(Flashabou Accent)

Thread- Danville's flat waxed nylon, fl. pink

 

This is just a portion of an order for the Ft. Lauderdale shop, some of these will also be down at the Miami Fly Shop.

 

Tight lines,

I like the clousers. Do the heads have that peach colour due to the thread or do you mix some paint into your epoxy for the finish? What size are they?

Thread- Danville's flat waxed nylon, fl. pink

 

Piker, it's the thread color, and it's pink. I use a lot of the same threads.
