Pelhament 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2009 I forgot to add that you can add a collar of guinea or just schlappen if you'd like. Here I added Mallard flank. Also, the tail looks like it is point up but that is because I had to shove what small bit of exposed hook shank there was in the vise to get a good grip, it normally lays parallel to the hook shank. I thought the site's image software would resize my images, but it didn't so here are some more manageable pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
letumgo 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2009 I like these flies a lot, especially the black & blue one (top one). I like how the flash material adds a sparkle under the body and it should keep the fly nice and fluid in the water by holding the marabou away from the body a little. These fly will have tons of motion in the water as well. You better keep a good grip on your rod, because the hits are likely to be vicious... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlwebb 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Very nice - so you are basically making your own cotter pin shape with the shark wire, then tying on line for the stinger hook? Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pelhament 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 Thanks, yep that is basically what I am doing. I really only make an eye with enough of a tag to slide under the cone and then wrap a few times with thread for extra stability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallie 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2012 I bought a gold metal detector not long ago and in order to test whether it is useful I have used it to find underground metal goods that hidden in my garden, to my surprise it has found my mother's lost golden ring. Then I took it to the park and the gold metal detector find a few coins. Really amazing and I want to share it with your guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
