Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 I was sitting in the sun, spotted a couple of bluebottles buzzing around, and came up with this: This one is on a Kamasan size 14 B160, but I imagine you could tie as big as a 10, which I might do soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FishDragon 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 Been a busy month Double articulated hog snare chartreuse diver burned goose spey (hackle stem should have been trimmed more) and my first dee will post more pics when I have time. Nice ties. Your Dee looks pretty decent and the wings have a nice low profile. The one thing I would try to address is the wing placement. You should try to get the wings attached side by side otherwise if one is on top of the other it will cause your fly to roll in the water instead of sitting level. Keep at it your doing good. I have only tied two myself and I am no expert but I have made the same mistake. You may want to try and tie your wings in hand. Here is a good link for yah to look at. http://www.speypages.com/speyclave/showthread.php?t=38690 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2013 I got some CDC to have a play with. I came up with an F Fly variation Hares ear body, on a size 12 Veniard Osprey curved hook, used the tying thread to rib the body on the way back up, CDC wing, then I used waste CDC to create a thorax Then, I added it to a spider pattern. CDC and black spider. Thread body, spin the CDC in a dubbing loop, brush out, then hackle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
