November Flies from the Vise

Thanks Mike. You might be right about the size. Have to give them a try on day when there is more baitfish in bigger sizes around

Here's a couple of my recent ties. The two on the top is my first go at a pattern found on youtube called "fat boy mullet". Maybe a bit to big for the seatrouts, but i had to give em a go. Hopefully one of the bottom two will give me fish on saturday. A friend of mine is holding a fishing competition/party for 15-20 friends from all over the country. I'd love to run with the honors, even thouh i suspect the fishing will not have first priority.....hahahaha

Nice flies, I would however lift the tail of the flies to free the small gape hooks before curing the glue.

Also, the first will probably like a little fine dressing, making the tail more pointy and less square...

 

 

 

Og ja, de vil fange havørreder, selv på trods af størrelserne!

Store fluer = Store fisk! (Sorry for the Danish ;-) )

Hi Henrik. I know about the gape of the hook, but i had a little trouble with the new tubing i tried using for the head/glue part.

 

Og jeg skal helt sikkert prøve dem efter ørrederne. Men jeg venter til næste år når varmen er kommet igen og jeg kan jagte en ordentlig sildeæder i Lillebælt

 

Sorry for the danish guys.

Henrik.... why? For the benefit of us unlearned ones, why should the tail be less square? If it's a baitfish imitation, baitfish have square tails.

Late for Halloween, but a ghost streamer I came up with. Marabou, flash, craft fur, chenille, and laser dub.

Hey guys and gals first post love the forum. Im a saltwater guy not a lot of tying experience so be gentle. Nah be honest! Here's a little everglades special I tied up, our redfish feed on wider bodied pin fish (saltwater bluegill!)

Nice start to tying. I am a fresh water guy, and I'd throw that for some bass and big blue gill (Fresh Water Kind) any day.

Welcome to the site.

Thank you. I appreciate that, I thought about tying some in silver and white for bass. My issue is everywhere I can freshwater fish here is so thick theres no room to cast i spend more time un hooking trees then fishing? So i pretty much stick to the flats and beaches.

I am in Central Florida ... and with a boat, I've got a large section of the St. Johns River plus a dozen or so lakes within 40 minutes of the house.

 

Hard to fish in Florida without a boat.

I live in port richey a few ponds over my way most are posted. We have lake tarpon but its huge and I am currently without a boat as the canoe is great to get from one flats hole to another where I wade. I always wanted to fish that river seen some nice fish come out of there.

Hey Joe, I'm not far from you (Pinellas). Lake Tarpon is good but especially if you're in a canoe, I suggest going during week days, as you'll get run over by skiers on the weekends. You're right about the brush... in Florida you have to have a boat for fly fishing (or canoe or kayak) because all the banks are covered with shrubs and trees, and cattails way out into the water.
