April Flies From The Vice!

Recommended Posts

Just another really quick and simple streamer type, sparse. Featherwing is hackle tips in orange (inside) and cerise (outside).

Okay i dug out my boxes! Seems i give away a lot of my good ties but all these should fish, a couple of swap flies in that intruder box that are begging for a swim! There are piles more too but i will start with these...for fish with adipose fins.

Flytyer,

 

Those last two patterns are a little too complicated (just like they should be.) Nicely tied.

Forgot to wizz up a few carp flies to launch at cruisers, Kirk's Squirrelly with tungsten eye - need to get down a bit quicker, clear water that is moving. Pondering stick on eyes? Also have not trimmed the wing, might just do that on the water? Maybe need a thicker wing?

Love the clean look of these flies; great job, and definitely leave the wing sparse. Bob Clouser is known for saying that if he tried to sell his Clouser Minnows with the amount of bucktail he actually places on them, no one would buy them bc they would be so sparse...

Got hawthorne hatches very soon in my neck of the woods. I enjoy tying spiders and after a bit of thinking, came up with this:
