tctrout 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2013 If you look on that diagram you posted look where the butt is vs the tag in relation to the tail Thanks; actually, @ the bottom of the diagram, there is an explanation of each. For the tag, "With the hook shank parallel to the tying surface, the tag starts at the barb point and proceeds to the hook point. The tag may consist of several materials such as tinsel and floss." ;-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2013 Sorry to hear that. Doesn't appear to be hitting the UK news, the European flooding only had a foot note. Strange as normally these do make a big name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hellgrammite 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2013 nice work on the posts of those little guys, gotta be tricky on hooks that small Theyre ok for me down to 16, and 18s, depending on my hackles; I have a wonderful Keough dark ginger neck that has feathers so long and thin theyre like using saddles. The long feathers make them easier. I get 2 or 3 parachutes per feather from neck feathers, which is just awesome. My dun neck has very short feathers in the 18 and 20 sizes, and I dont own a set of hackle pliers. The 18s can be a bit frustrating. 20? Maddening. Think I better swallow my pride and buy a pair. I dislike using them, but I will if i must... or I'll just limit myself to size 18 parachutes. Havent decided. Feels like a copout. Any tips on wrapping small parachutes, im all ears. I'd like to be able to do 20s and even 22s ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 Couple more Danish flies for seatrout. The Frede. Original tied by Peter Loevendahl and used flash in the tail and through as a rib. These are a variant without the flash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crackaig 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2013 Friend of mine managed 4 salmon off the R. Brora on Thursday evening using one of these. Standard Aly's Shrimp except the body is twisted copper wire. I can see I'll have my work cut out tying more now. Cheers, C. [edit] Sorry forgot, Size 12 L/W salmon hook. Whole fly is just over 1" long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
