Piscineidiot 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 My realistic 'fly flies', tied with the intention of being fished, so I compromised a little on the 'realism', and focused a little more on buoyancy, durability and movement. These ones are tied on a No.14. There are some No.12 Klinkhammers behind for scale. The bodies are peacock herl over a foam underbody. The legs are black stretch cord. The wings are cut from plastic grocery bags. The eyes are red foam trimmed to shape. Hope you like them! Owen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piscineidiot 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks guys. Mikechell, the flies are all foam and herl, so in theory, they should float all day. Smudge a bit of floatant into them and they might even hover! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
