Gungner 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Great flies Gunger! May i ask what you use for body material on the one with the silver bead? Its nymph skin colored with a permanent marker in both of them. Or do you mean the "house"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gungner 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Yes, i mean the house Haha ok, sorry! It's Brown antron, about 2 cm long fibers in a dubbing loop that you cover the body with. Then you get you're lighter and burn the fibers. Should work with alot of synthetic dubbings, not just antron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sniperfreak223 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 cartoon frog HI Gravytrain Love them frogs. Bass will surely kill those froggies Can you please share where you get the materials and step by step if possible I'll venture a guess here...the bodies are Wapsi Foam Spider bodies, one glued to each side of the hook, and the legs look like Wapsi Foam Ant bodies, folded and glued to create the bend. add some permanent marker and decal eyes, and done.

m_grieb 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 One for sunday morning: Hey eide, I have a question for you, and I am in no way trying to be offensive I notice on most all of your hair wing flies that you have your wing stick straight up, as opposed to have it lay down along the top of the body. Is there a reason for that? I have no idea so it would be great to learn something from you! Thanks Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Hi Matt, its what's known as Scandinavian style. The extreme ones would be flamethrowers where the wing really does stick up nearly 90. The key is the hair used, needs to be softer hairs like fox and racoon that hold their profile but will push down in flowing water and pulse. Bucktail would be too stiff and goat for example too soft, although goat makes a good topping for the fox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Matt Piker20 explains the style good: I use Arctic Fox and Temple dog for my hairwings and they flow great in the water! I'm just getting into hairwings this winter, and being from Norway this style of tying and the patterns used for salmon over here is where I get the style from Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't have the best results though. Didn't get that "melted" effect. But i'll keep trying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
