My youngest daughter Ally, who is in Veterinary Medicine School at WSU , in Pullman, bought me some tying goodies for Xmas and told me that it was time to get back on the horse... Xmas gift.. Some #18 (TMC 2488H) HOT VAC's with thread bodies, I tied up on Saturday. I will be setting up my photo area and shooting individual pics soon...

Bimini15 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2021 #14 is the smallest hook I have, and it probably will catch something, but I am not sure the eye strain is worth it... 😊 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PT/TB Good for you,being self taught and having never flyfished with anyone,i have gone thru long periods where i didn't tie or use a flyrod.As time went by i realized i enjoy fishing alone and fish better too.When i fish with family or friends it is the same ol same ol.Plastics or crankbaits etc.I seem to enjoy not catching fish with a flyrod more than catching 10 on the latest 15 dollar lure..

Chris_in_Louisiana 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2021 Haven't tied too much the past few weeks, but finally sat down yesterday to replenish my supply of Clouser Minnows. Gamakatsu SP11-3L3H #4, 140 Denier Thread, Chartreuse over White bucktail with a bit of crystal flash, and brass dumbell eyes. *Taper of the head probably would have been better had I stuck with 70 denier.
