s fontinalis 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2014 Thought i'd introduce my self since i've made a couple of posts lately. Been a member here for a few years, but since i tie mostly classic flies, i've been posting over on those boards for the most part. I live in Philly, work as a biochemist, and fish about 3 times per year, which is pish poor by any mans standards Tying keeps me in touch with fishing. Here's a few of my flies. Eunan Sparkle Ghost Buggers Royal Coachmen Swingers Sparkle Maggots A little experimental married wing dry fly type thing Some fan wing royal coachmen Trout Fin Set Jungle Ghost Tied in hand Gray Ghost Tied in hand Smith 3/0 Rogans Ballyshannon Floodtide 4/0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I REALLY look forward to your future posts. PS - Next time you're thinking about a vice, take a look at his Gray Ghost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RCFetter 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Hi Eunan. I'm familiar with your ties from PAFF. I'm in Bucks County, PA. What did you use for the tail in the Sparkle Ghost Bugger? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s fontinalis 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 Thanks for the welcome everyone. Hi Eunan. I'm familiar with your ties from PAFF. I'm in Bucks County, PA. What did you use for the tail in the Sparkle Ghost Bugger? The tail is arctic fox guard hairs (all the under fur stroked out before tying in) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
