add147 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2015 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. Â 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bulb 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2015 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

add147 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2015 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!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yeti 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2015 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
