mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Okay, Dan. I used to be envious of your ability with deer hair ... Now, I just hate you, period. That fly is fantastic. Could almost be posted in the "realistic" forum. I saw the picture before I actually paid attention to who tied it. I mis-guessed who tied it. Kimo, I think you've got competition, now.

Chia 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 Chia ... I don't tie "game changers", so this is only based on pictures and tutorials I've seen. They all seem to be trimmed much "tighter". Yours seems a bit "fluffy" But like you said, it'll catch fish. Rather nervousness about cutting them down...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 I wouldn't cut them. Tie in shorter materials on the next ones, but leave those. You'll know if they're too long if the fish rip off the tail without getting hooked. Otherwise, hold on, you just might catch a personal best on one of those.

mikechell 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 As always, Eide. Your flies, and the photos are near perfect. (I only say "near perfect" because I'm always supposed to suggest room for improvement ... it's in the "teacher's guide) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
