November flies from the vise

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is a duplicate... I couldn't find a November thread.

 

I have been messing with parachutes and marabou. The Allen D102BL is officially my favorite dry fly hook right now. Very sticky.

Working on mice. For my personal flies I dont include eyes, ears, nose or whiskers, but I want to start selling them so I need to add the decorations.

Still working on flies using Virtual Nymph products for the Irish Fly Fair in Galway this weekend.

More variations of this pattern that I have visited before, this time on a TMC 2457 #14 hook

Blane, those are the old time method of making them. I put a little lead on top of hook on the front half, tie in x-large mylar tubing, I think it's #44 from Cascade Crest. 5 min epoxy goes on inside to stick it together and shape it. Copics and Sharpies used to color and OnTheVise stick-on eyes for effects. Topcoated with 30-minute cure epoxy all around, after that dries, a second coat is put on the back of the fly/top of hook side. They're quite durable. About a 25 minute tie but you can catch about three dozen reds on them and then recoat with epoxy for another couple dozen.
