AUGUST FLIES from the bench

Great fly Chefben4. Another example of when folk have the basic skills down they can flirt with all the different styles. You even married the tail. :thumbsup: I normally get too frazzled on the wing and use something else for a tail.

I really like your slider. What size is it? Do you drill a hole for the legs?

It's a Wapsi body, pretty sure it's on a #4 kink shank popper hook. I did drill the body, I used a tiny drill bit I have with my Dremel kit to do the drilling.

Wonderful flies, PT! I really like the way you show where the fly is most effective! I've been tying a lot of bass flies lately here are some of the newest creations.

 

 

Enjoy!

 

 

Thank You and Tight Lines,

Do you have the recipe for that? In that colour that would make a great salmon nymph.

I wrap the hook shank with 10-12 wraps of .020 lead sub.I pick out the abdomen fibers with a dubbing needle and brush everything to the rear of the hook with a bore brush, .40 cal. The hot spot is hit with Hard as Hull.

 

The UV 2 products are new from Spirit River...Feathercraft lists them in their "new" products section online...

 

I hope that is what was wanted...
