Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2012 Looked at some Kelly Galloups vids on the tube. Tried a bottoms up but down sized for trout. Here it is after a test swim. Sits up really well. Next attempt will have a lot more herl in the tail but it looks a lot better in the water than I hoped. Especially the rubber legs at the bottom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 If you can't be fishing might as well bore someone about fishing! The wifes family have all moved up north including 3 fishers so hopefully be able to leave the kids and wet more fluff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2012 I experimented in creating a new Pike fly. It's made from hollow tied Alpaca fur, on a 2/0 hook. It's got a very bulky profile in the water when it's being fished, a chunky baitfish profile lol need to build the head up some more when I get chance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C LeBo 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Great flies, everyone! Here is a squid-ish jig/fly thing for the salt I concocted! I probably won't even fly fish with it, but instead will jig it off a boat for lings. Enjoy! Thank You and Tight Lines, Carson LeBoeuf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notenuftoys 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2012 Eventually a fly will be produced from this bench, but I thought I would share the preparation phase of an evening of fly tying. A little Kentucky bourbon will produce immense inspiration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
