Thank you! I hardly ever fish these flies, but they are really fun to tie.

Bro i am going to buy some ep fibers. How do you make them?

Just look up any ep fiber tutorial, it’s very simple

JohnW1986, what are you using to adhere the living eyes?  I've been having trouble keeping the eyes adhered when fished in saltwater.  I've tried zap goo and Loctite super glue gel and in both cases the eyes simply slide off after a couple of casts.

Is your last name really Riffle? That would be too cool for a fly fisherman. Nice fly too, by the way. If you don't mind a tiny bit of criticism, I would say make the head a little smaller. But still, very nice.

I’ve been using liquid fusion on my baitfish flies

Thanks Mark. I agree about the head, it's amazing all the little things you notice when you can zoom in on a fly.

Unfortunately it's not my name, I borrowed it from my great-great grandfather. I found it while doing some genealogy last year and fell in love with it, for obvious reasons.
