Just got back from Richmce's seminar. He had us tie several streamer type flies using "eyelash yarn".

First we did three different sized leech or worm flies. (3", 4" and 5" or so)

 

Then we did a baitfish pattern with eyelash yarn tail and satin fiber for body accents. (about 5 or 6 inches)

 

Then we did the monster streamer. Mine ended up being about 8 inches long. I had to take two pictures and join them in MSPaint.

 

The one Rich then sent with me to give to Steve next week is a full 10" or more.

 

He also sent a couple streamers and materials for Steve.

(don't sweat the date ... I didn't set up the camera)

 

It was a lot of fun. Not a huge crowd, but good people that DID show up.

someone will probably ask what the materials were small eyelash is cloud 9 from hobby lobby larger size is snuggle up yarn from same place . most had 2 strands furled together.

satin fabric is poor mans crystal flash from wallmart, joanns, michaels etc.

Norm, you posted some wet flies with a light blue wingcase a little earlier this month. What bird? Does it irridesce?

Real nice work.

I often sub materials as long as the fish approve.

That's how new & innovative flies are born.

Flytier,

 

Those are some really nice soft hackles. I really like the Partridge and Orange.
