Might as well start the new topic.

 

Lund's transparent baitfish tied on #2 barbless stingers from Partridge

 

 

Tiny crawfish on a #4 using pine squirrel and CDL Soft hackles.

 

 

Buddy at work gave me the tail off a pesty animal he shot....coyote...pretty exited to use this thing.

First pair of mice of the year for me. Chris Helm style is still my favorite.

 

 

 

 

 

blue eyes

With those eyes, Johnny ... looks like "Flushed Away" characters. Well tied, though.

 

Nice start to the month, Dan.

Is there an eye to put tippet material through, Cheech?

I only ask because I would find it IMPOSSIBLE TO TIE ON !!!

 

Nice fly, just unusable in my world.

Those mice are almost too cute to throw at pikes.

You mean you can't see the eye on that there hook, Mike? When I was younger and could see I tied some midges on the Tiemco size 32 and the only two fish I ever caught on them were sunfish. I had to use an 11X tippet to tie them on.

That's really sad... you went to all that trouble tying a fly nobody can see, and all they caught was something you could have caught on a size 10 popper.

You can thread 6x through this fly (size 30) You just have to snip it at an angle to make it easier. I also have 20/15 vision, so that helps.

Okay ... here's MY size fly. This is the scud that made me the chub master last weekend.

 

 

Tied on a size 8 Mustad 3408B. I got 100 of them for $2.00 at the fishing show on Friday.

Really like that one Mike. Chub are lots of fun . What did you use for the body/legs, under the shellback?

Using what I have with me in the hotel. Made a dubbing loop with craft fur.
