  1. Tied up a new one based upon what you guys all suggested and i am very pleased with this new fly dives great and deep, sits level in the water now as well. and FK I have tied up a few flies in the common red and white combo and to this day have never had success with it, I tie mostly fire-tiger colors for the lakes around me because the predominate forage fish is perch so the orange is a visual que for the fish. thanks again for the advice guys!
  2. yes I use a razor for most of the trimming along the bottom, I use curved scissors to get the general shape on top then use a razor for the finer work.
  3. Thank you! now that you say that that is exactly what I do to fix alignment problems. I will definitely have to test this out now that you say that. Again thank you!
  4. This past winter I started tying up some pike and musky flies for the lakes around my area, i have had some success but I really would like to catch some on top water. I tied up a few Dhalberg diver style flies in varying colors and sizes but they all seem to have a common problem, I cannot get the fly to sit level in the water and because it is tilted off to one side I cannot get the fly to dive right. Anyone have experience tying these flies in larger sizes have the same problem? I am really at a loss as to what is causing it, any help would be fantastic.
