mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2018 I'm with BCT on this, Retro. Those are some great looking flies. Those tails are very cool. IS that the material, or something you're doing to the material? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2018 I woke up at 3:00am ... with a headache and stuffed sinuses. Took some Ibruprofen, but was wide awake. So, I tied another baby fish. Went back to sleep ... but I still feel like crap. I hope I'm not catching something. I won't be going anywhere today, just in case. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IS that the material, or something you're doing to the material?Its a method learnt from a good friend who uses heated surgical pliers to get said effect ..... the material is soft flexible tubing Thanks Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrocarp 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2018 You're putting a neat 'crimp' or texture on that extended plastic 'part/s'. Saw that on that beaver tail midge to in your previous post. Nice ties! BCT Thanks BCT the material in question is a soft tubing used for tube fly hook connections.....the indentation is made by heating up haemostats then clamping them on to the medium....hope that helps I learnt this trick from a good friend whom I consider to be one of the best when it comes to producing unique looking flies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
