vicrider 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2017 This is a fly that spun off of a joking post on another board. The post was about a fly called the Captain the used white floss for the body. Since substitutions for materials are quite common I subbed chenille for the white floss and it is now the "The Captain and Chenille". Unfortunately Love couldn't keep them together...

vicrider 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2017 This is an older article but still has a plethora of wet flies of all style with pictures and recipes for each. Never run out of styles to tie. http://globalflyfisher.com/patterns/classic-wet-flies Adlibbing a little on this swap, if you notice most of these flies use hooks as big as a 6 and seldom smaller than a 10. This is why many think they are taken either just for the bling effect or as minnows. They really don't match insect life that well but sure are pretty.

flytire 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2017 while some winged wet flies offer a little more bling than others, they are also tied to represent mayflies, caddis/sedges and even terrestrials Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
