July Flies from the vise

[mikechell 0]

So, with my trip to Maryland just two days away, I needed to replace the camera.

Bought a Polaroid iEX29. A few flies to see how they look online.

Streamer ...

 

 

Woolly bugger with plastic bead chain eyes for a slow fall.

Papa -

 

My suggestions are to trim it further, give the fly a more significant taper (largest at the head, smallest near the tail) also, when you trim it further it will expose the hook more giving you better hook up percentage!

I'm just a little concerned about the tail end beeing to skinny if i trim it any more, but i see your point about exposing the front hook.

Hey ads that might work for some of the backwaters here

Might work in a lot of places Retro! Idea of hook point riding up is to avoid getting stuck on the bottom? Hope the trade off isn't fowl hooked fish in the gut?

And then you'll have fish for dinner lol

Wow Mike, you broke your record of saying you have never tied a woolly bugger ! Good luck on your trip !

Yeah, Dave. I bought a cape a few months back, off E-Bay. I posted it on here, somewhere. Finally got around to trying the woolly bugger pattern. I'll try fishing it this coming week ... see if it attracts some piscine attention.

Thanks Mike! Have to watch more videos, buy black belly hair & razors, got the stonefo tool while ago, but came with one razor! I think the cuts have to be Wright the first time, cos' if you try to fix them it looks like a lawn mowed with a wipper snipper! Massive Credit to the men here that make deerhair magic!

Thanks flytire! That means a lot to me!

Adam, I know you're in a weird part of the world where regular stores aren't normal ... but discount stores here have 5-packs of double edged razors for a couple of bucks or less.
