flytyer56 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 Here's a few thread midges I tied up to try out his week-end. They're tied on a sz 16 hook, brown thread with a copper wire rib and head, and tan thread with a silver wire rib and the head is colored with a black sharpie. Then coated with knot sense.

Piker20 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2013 You'll probably find you'll need more (longer) plume of CDC to hold that fly up Wayne. I find its best to tie them in full and trim at the water if you think you need to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoebop 0 Report post Posted November 17, 2013 Planettrout, You are a skilled fly tyer! I like the flies you tie very much. But, I have to say that the photo treatment you give your flies, while very dramatic, doesn't really show your flies in a very realistic way. Maybe this is intentional but I would like to see your flies in natural lighting so I can see what they really look like and maybe attempt to tie some myself. I'm sure your scud shown above is not blue (or as blue) but if I were to attempt to tie one like yours, I couldn't from your photo. Just a thought. They are pretty photos but not very helpful. Keep tying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keep tying I generally come back and do an entire dozen on a flat background in natural sunlight - when they are completed. Rest assured, that fly is a deep blue...These are KG's SPRING CREEK SCUDS done that way... PT/TB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
