Bergman fly swap

Recommended Posts

Finished up the tying last night. I'm going to put a couple extra coats of varnish on the heads then they'll be headed your way.

(137) Gray Marlow. a three material fly; how hard could it be?

 

for me, grrrrrrrrrr. every little error stands out. i think this will be the last swap i enter blind, without seeing if i have a comfort level with the techniques required.

 

i tip my hat to Ray Bergman for the work that went into his collection. his flies are like works of art in a museum. mine are more like graffiti sprayed onto a wall.

what really sucks is i watched a video by Norm Norland (atf), and saw a tip how i could have tied everything in.

I'm glad you think so because I bit off a little more then I could chew with those wings. Some are a little ragged.

However it was fun and I look forward to seeing everyone's flies.

 

Thanks

Good deal! I hope they do not disappoint to much!! I must admit this was sort of a hard swap for me.
