  2. Now that's funny! Fred that's a beautiful rendition of a hellacious lil pain in the arse fly! Thanks Murray
  3. Thanks mybadhabit and Floyd. I heard somewhere that if you had a dragonfly on your hat or shirt that these deer flies would stay clear of you. I might have to try that. fred
  4. These guys are often found in the areas we like to fish. They are blood suckers like their cousins the horse fly. This one is tied on a size 20. Fred
  5. Thanks Ray , it's still a work in progress.I'll keep trying and tying though. Fred.
  6. Thanks Henry . All I want is one BIG one. Fred

  11. Nice photos and fish Kirk. Maybe you can teach me how to photograph like that . Or maybe it's just genetics.lol Your son also did a great job with the camera. Fred
  12. Thanks David. High praise comming from such a great tyer as yourself. Fred
  13. Send me your address and I'll send you a cd . My computer crashed and I lost some files . Fred
  14. Hi Paul I try to immitate a fleeing crawfish with quick strips and pauses. Most of the strikes come on the pause.The mon weedguard keeps them from hanging up on most of the timber but it doesn't do alot against aquatic weeds.When fishing a weed line I try to keep it just above the grass. Fred
  15. Thanks Skip, I 've taught friends to tie similar ones with varried sucess. Some are better than others at the finer points. But they all fish well . Fred
  16. Thanks Ray , I 've learned alot from looking at your soft hackles and asking you questions .I hope one day I can tie one as nice as yours. Paul , the feather I used is a grouse body feather. Fred
  17. Very nice Steve. I'll be tying some of these for sure. Fred
  18. Those look great Dave . Love the colors on the bend back. Fred
  19. Thanks guys. Here is a link to tying a similar frog. It's made from the same foam . http://www.realisticflytying.net/id12.html
  20. Tinkering with one of my slider patterns . I've decided to make a smaller frog slidder with ,what I think is a cool looking profile. Dare I say , almost cute.The reduced size should allow me to throw this with a 4wt/5wt so it should work really nice with the 7/8 wt that I normaly use when fishing for lmb. Thanks for looking, Fred
  21. Thanks Paul and ditz2 . Paul answered the question as well as I could have.I had a step by step on my computer and it crashed two weeks ago. I have a more simple and older sbs on cd .I'll redo the sbs and either give it to Hatches online mag or post it in my website. Fred
  22. The shrimp are tied with 40 and 10 lb test. The thread is 4mm mono . The tail is 40lb pinched down with plyers . The eyes are 40lb melted. The antenae is the 4mm thread and the legs are 10lb test. I horozontaly stack 40lb and 10 lb mono to get the shape I want and I coat it with flexament. You have to caot it as you go because once your finished the flexament wont be able to penetrate thru all the mono.Here I used different colored mono and clear mono colored with permanent markers. By coating the markers at different levels of wrapping it gives it a deep livinig coloration that can be seen when held in your hand. Thanks,Fred
  23. These are tied on #1 2x stainless Eagle Claw saltwater hooks 066A-1 .With mono line of different colors and clear mono thread you can achieve a range of color varriations.
