rockworm 0 Report post Posted June 1, 2015 In keeping with my abilities I will be tying the modest little Coachman (#10) from Plate 2. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2015 Okay, these are a beautiful fly on the plates but harder than they look. I'd rather tie a size 26 parachute (I'm doing for another swap) than these. Just had a tough time with them. Also ran into a problem with #55, The Butcher. One showed it with blue wings, one with no wings. Since I'm trying hard to make decent wings and I'm not there yet I tackled the winged version. Came out something like this. And then the Grizzly King #152. Once again not near as easy as it looks to keep it all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2015 Thanks T-b. I never can guarantee the quality of my flies but I can always guarantee the effort put forth. Did the same on the job and at play. My best if not THE best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2015 Lots of pretty pictures flytire but no names or fly/plate numbers. Since so many of his flies differ only but a hackle color or type of wing you really need the names to know what you're tying (or in my case attempting to). I thought the listing here was nice with fly # and the recipe. http://hatchesmagazine.com/blogs/Hatches/category/ray-bergman-collection/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
