November Flies from the Vise

Recommended Posts

Red Tinsel over Black D-Rib.

Went to a wider/brighter tinsel because I ran out of the other.

Kimo, I'm not a trout fly guy, so maybe shouldn't remark [judge]. But I can't help it. Your ties and the photos are beautiful. Thank you. Cheers, Ed

Kimo is a hell of tier but his photography skills are simply amazing. He could easily work for National Geographic!!! Both his tying abilities and his eye with the len makes his posts a work of art.

 

eide is also in the same category as far as I am concerned. Both of these gentlemen definitely have the knack for this wonderful art. It would be an honor to get to sit across a table from them and watch them tie. Who knows maybe our paths might cross one day.

Thanks Chrome! Was inspired to tie some softhackles when a friend of mine, who just started flyfishing, caught a nice trout on a softhackle nymph he found in a tree.

Nice pattern and photos Scott! Unweighted softhackles are on my schedule, like the look of the trimmed hackle. Do you trim before winding the hackle or after?

After, although you could certainly trim beforehand.

Man the photos are GREAT on many of these flies. Some of you must have a small fortune tied up in photography equipment! Very well done indeed!!!

A little combination of a San Juan worm with a lowly glowly egg fly I thought of for the upcoming winter steelhead season. Hopefully it works out. If it catches a fish, I may call it the fertile myrtle. That's my rule, it has to catch fish in order to earn a name.
