October Flies from the Vise

2 dozen intruder shanks pre-done and ready to tie at will. I prefer tying up a few dozen at a time so I can just tie a few everyday after work without having to worry about all the prep work.

Here's my newest YouTube fly tying tutorial, this one on extended bodies for mayflies (especially for larger ones, such as the green drake, slate/isonychia, etc.). There are countless methods for extended bodies, though I prefer this one in situations that require more floatability. Enjoy!

Size 14 GRHE. Tied up a whole bunch of these. Been experimenting with split thread dubbing techniques, which is how I did the thorax.

 

 

And, I spotted a load of carp in a local canal, I've had luck with these before, It's a black and peacock spider, with CDC behind the hackle, which isn't too visible in this pic

I can see I need to get me some of those hooks for the next order from Allen. The grey one should work great over here!

Yeah I think the sea trout will love it. Used the spey type feathers from the bottom edge of the guinea skin to make a nice sparse tail and collar. Two for the tail and one for the collar.

some expirimenting with epoxy and rubber bands, has worked pretty well for me so far if i might say

Never forget the fish are the only critic that matters.

I like the rubber band grub. Have you tried any with only the top coated to save that chewy grubby texture in the bottom?

Try telling that to my customers!

ill have to give that a try! i have done some with a very soft rubbery coating but cant get it to finish nice and clear

and yes the fish are the critique but we are the ones who choose what to show to the fish and usually its only what we think is good enough
