Saltybum 0 Report post Posted September 7, 2016 Ok, thought I'd have a little fun with this one. First considered putting it in realistic fly tying but figured the rocks would start flying. Found this guy in my office on his back and decided to give him a better resting place. A dap of super glue gel and he's done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1hook 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Lol you should have put it in that forum and tried to pass it off as a genuine tie, fake material list and everything, lol that would have been fun to follow! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 Wow !!! The wings are almost perfect !!! And those eyes look so life like !!! Â The legs need some work though. If the fish see those legs all folded up like that, they'll mistake it for a dead insect ... and they prefer live insects. Â On the next one, try to get the legs in a more splayed out angle. Â Other than that ... it's near perfect. Â It's as good as this worm fly I tied when I was a bit younger ... Â Â Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
