Michigan Trout Guy 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Flies look great. What kind of material did you use for the wings and the body on the second fly down? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishaholic 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Thank you, believe it or not the body is formed from the thin craft foam available at wal-mart and for the wings all I had available at the time that I could use was an empty bag that some rabbit zonker strips came in.So I cut out two wing patterns and glued them together ran my scissors tip across them.Then I hit with a permanent marker quick and wiped off with paper towel.The body technique is the one that graham posted on his mayfly challenge post.I hope this helps you out,and thanks for looking!!

fishaholic 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Thank You!!!!! Its mostly due to you guys and this site that these were created and I have to say it was fun doing them,hopefully I can tidy them up a little bit.I'm strongly contimplating the realistic realm next.So I guess we'll have to see how that turns out,got to first acquire some new supplies for that then we can get underway.I personally think it is quite cool that we have paul whillock on board with us giving us some great insite on that aspect of fly tying. So lets keep things going the way they are and this will definitely be the hottest site around in my opinion. there is no living without fly fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. the avatar that I finally got to work is my oldest son jake,and that kid loves to fish!!!!!!!!!!!
