FeatherandFly 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 My name is Lee, I am a high school speech teacher in Fort Worth, I also tie custom flies. I grew up in North Alabama where fly fishing was laughed at for the most part but now is coming around. My goal is to write a tying book on warm water flies. There are more and more books coming out about warm water flies, however, some of the flies in the book are a little rough around the edges, my goal is to produce flies for the book that catch fish as well as the fisherman. you can check out my work on Instagram @feather.and.fly or go to my website www.featherandfly.net. I look forward to being a part of the forum. Lee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FeatherandFly 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks mikechell the streamer is one of my one creations, but the frog is a take off the Skipper from Dahlberg, I tie it on a different hook, as well as a few other materials than the original but it is a bass getter.

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2018 Welcome from south Fla. Those are some interesting patterns. I'm curious if that frog floats with the point up? Thanks for sharing and I'll be looking forward to more. I get funny looks from other boaters here on Okeechobee too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caloosa bug 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2018 Ahh. I see Mike. You've got a slight bend in a straight shank hook. I knew there wasn't that much room on a worm hook for the hair head. I've done a few bend-back streamers like that, but most of my weedless ties are on worm hooks. Thanks. I'll be giving those a shot soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got those looks growing up as well while fishing Lake Guntersville. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
