niveker 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2021 Came across these while re-organizing my tying desk and fly boxes, got a few more swaps also. I meant to post them a while back, but now's as good a time as any. My apologies for my poor photo skills, it was a great set of flies. They'll all find a spot in one of my boxes.

niveker 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2021 @vicrider - your fly with the white bead looks like a great pattern, does it have name and is it a creation of yours? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2021 Without the bead it's a Red Ass Kelso. Real name. Look it up. One of the standards of guides and regulars on the White River and Norfork in AR. When I go there I always carry them weightless, with the bead instead of the herl thorax, or like that one with the herl and the bead. I like to put the bead behind the soft hackle to help keep it flaring and not just laying back against the hook. Of the two it is the one I'd tie on first but the other has been used and proven purple is a viable color. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
