Thanks guys, your words are too kind :) Usually one gets banned after messing around such an all time favorite and classic as Muddler Minnow :)

 

But, when you start, you kinda cannot stop, can you for real? Two variations of an old classic - Muddler Minnow gets Fish Skulled.

 

great stuff indeed! Oh with the second variation is that a hackle before the skull goes on? Just goes to show you can probably fish skull anything.

Simon, brute force and ignorance!

 

These wanted to wander I simply used my thumb nail to roll them into position then twisted them to get the set right, and locked them in place with a few wraps. Remember there are two factors, position and set. Get the position right before trying to get the set of the wings right.

 

Cheers,

C.

Deer hair in both variations, stacked before tying.

Wavey - Very nice Spider. Good lookin' body.

(Last time I said that, I got slapped) :blink:

Is that Mole?

I agree although why the ladies don't like us complimenting their spider is beyond me.

Thanks Chase and Piker! Last time I complemented a girls spider, I woke up in A&E. They're really rough around here... :P

 

And chase, it's actually hares ear, used in a dubbing loop really, really sparingly :)

rolsen.....these flies you have been posting would look soooooooo nice in the database :D Especially when I want to find them to try my hand at them <_< I may not do them justice, but with a picture and a recipe I at least have a fighting chance :lol: Lot's o' great work being posted by everyone lately. It's nice to see folks posting every month what they have tied, whether they are regular contributors or newbies

Got hold of some tiny (size 14) Salmon doubles. Here's some for sea trout (sea run browns) and salmon.

Teal Blue and Silver.
