JayWirth 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 I have been tying some Catskill Style flies looking forward to a trip to the Beaverkill (if rain would let up). I have the steps down pretty good now and have the tying time down to about 10 minutes each. This is a Cahill Light on a size 12 hook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shoebop 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2014 Well done Jay. You even left the extra bare shank behind the eye...a catskill characteristic that most tyers leave out these days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Troutbum11 0 Report post Posted May 20, 2014 From what I collect from the other posts, the bare shank before the eye is a characteristic of Catskill flies? That's interesting! is there a purpose behind that or is it just how they are traditionally tied? Obviously im not familiar with Catskill flies, but they are pretty interesting looking.
