October Flies from the Vise

Recommended Posts

I hate to jump in, but no one started one this month.

The Cream posted a fly that piqued my interest, so I tied three up to help me finish the season. Fall came in a hurry to the upper Midwest.

Nice work Bruce!

I use to do stuff like that years ago Ill see if I can find a picture of it.

Here it is...1st one I ever did took me like over six hours to do while I figured out how to do it.

After a while I got them down to about three hours of piece.

How much time you have into one of those ?

Love it.

Tried to figure out eyes, ended up drilling into 6mm beads, then gluing in 1/4"dragon eyes, man the things we do when tying!, and thanks
