utyer 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2014 Now for this week, the theme is "Dots" I think this one should be self explanatory. Poppers are a type of fly, I have never tied until earlier this year, this is my 5th one ever, I have a long ways to go, but at least it fits the theme.

sniperfreak223 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2014 Week 7: Dots Given the fact that there's a good bit of Guinea in my fly-tying kit, that was an obvious choice for this week's theme. The fly is a featherwing-style fly, similar in taste to a traditional salmon fly. I'm out of town at the moment, and somehow my travel vise was lost in transit, so forgive the crudeness, as this fly was tied in hand. another attempt, tied with the aid of a vise.

eide 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 Originally wanted to do a guinea pattern for this week, but then I found a pattern with JC that could cover this weeks theme. When I came to the topping I realised that I didn't have any golden pheasant that matched, so I had to improvise a bit by putting on some peacock.

Piker20 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2014 lovely work on the floss. Id be tempted to put that away and come back with some GP at a later date and finish off topping. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sniperfreak223 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2014 Week 8: Dessert This week I decided to do a featherwing streamer. The fly represents a traditional "banana split" style sundae. The tail is red hackle fibers to represent strawberry syrup, the body is pink, cream, and brown floss to represent strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream, the brown hackle and underwing represents chocolate syrup, the white hackle wing is whipped cream, and red hackle tips on the cheeks are the cherry on top.
