Beautiful crease flies. Do you use a cutter for the bodies, or do you just shape your own?

Those look great! I like the way you maintained a substantial hook gap unlike many versions of this fly where the tier reduces the gap by half or more.
Nice work.

Every now and then, I'll make a video, wish I could find time to do more; here is the link:

I've got a few folders with photos of flies, these get more updates than my videos:

AGN - I shape my own and use cutters. Depends on what im trying to do. I also add rattles inside the mouths for some added noise.

Kirk - Thanks buddy! Everyone who has made crease flies and posted them never leaves a big enough gap at all. I see it all the time, fish comes up behind it and they can never set the hook properly due to the incorrect tying method and certain type of wide gap hook. Sometimes the crease flies work great after a blue or bass or albie blitz, you let float in the current and dead drift, cant set the hook when theres no hook gap!!!

Thanks again kirk!

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but rather than make a new one... What foam are you using for the body?

I haven't seen Joe around in a bit but Im pretty sure he was using 2mm. If you go to the bear's den website they have Crease Fly kit that is awesome (cutters, etc). Another option is the sparkle foam you can get at walmart, real cheap.

Joe's been off the forum for the summer - he works on a charter boat and doesn't have a whole lot of time during the busy season.

You can use regular sheet foam that you'll find in craft stores, or even at Walmart. You can either paint the foam or attach reflective material before you cut it to shape.
