Fly Tying

JANUARY flies

Recommended Posts

Both, hollow tied and articulated on 4/0 hooks. Top one is white on the back hook, red on the front with eyes. Bottom I tried stacking the white over the red and did a spun deer head. Been about 8 or 9 months since I spun hair so it looks kinda rough.

^^Very Cool!!

 

Discovered a new material that I've never seen anyone else use before so I tied a few patterns with it. On the stone, its the main body and wingcase material; while on the midges its the dark ribbing material, so I provided a close-up shot; and on the nymph its the body and wingcase material. So try to guess what it is; and no, its not a herl stem! I'll reveal it in due time in a SBSph34r.png

(P.S. Last two shots of the stone are with it wettened)

 

Enjoy!

 

 

Thank You and Tight Lines,

Just thought i would try and tent some mallard flank onto the blue charmish things and up the size to a #7, still has arctic fox under, should hold the roof nicely.

You can also bring the blue fibres round under the wing and hold it up well in place of the fox.

Ahh Piker20 the great false beard or collar hackle debate, depends on where you fish them i guess, full collars for faster water and bigger flies, around the size 8's i like the false beard. Anyone else have an opinion on this?

Cold and rainy - perfect day for sitting down at the vise. A little variety was on the menu today.

 

First up, some redfish candy:

Next, I usually don't tie dry flies, but decided to try an Adams Snowshoe Trude. This was the second one. Not too bad, but there's room for improvement.

Tried to post photos of a SH and an Elk and CDC but for some reason photobucket IMG code is not working. I get a message that says:

 

You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community.

 

I have used photobucket before, whats the deal?
