rhinorods69

Received flies today from both Herman and Rhinorods69. Both are very sweet looking ties!

 

RR69...what kind of dubbing is that? It looks very buggy.

olive hare's mask mixed it my self has a lot of guard hairs if you clip it in between the whisker's and the ears

i am not a photographer but those shots look sweet that's better then any thing i could have done.

What do you guys think of this pattern? Would it ride hook down since the rabbit strip is over the cone?

to me the hook is out weight by the rabbit but just remember there is no telling till it hits the water and you strip . just like clousers minnows they put the dark color opposite side of the dumbell weight eyes. at lest i do if you took some small lead wire and wraped it around the bend 3-10 time depending on what it took and covered it with thread it will right it self in the water some time drag from the current will help your fly unright it's self the point is just play with it till you get it right

I really do appreciate the support for Hatches(I need it) and believe me when I say that nobody works harder to put together the best magazine possible than I do.

 

For the exact reasons that everyone has mentioned I feel that Hatches may always be published once per year, twice at the most. I couldn't imagine trying to find enough good articles to fill 4 - 6 issues every year. It's hard enough to fill one.

now that the truth that why the others fill theirs with what fly the president united states is using and were and when he's using it. this is were i find mags like hatches and and a few other local one do way better. because it more pertains to what i am doing not them. if fly fish America was not free i would not read it.because they get to off the beaten path of were i fish. any ways good luck and tight lines and awesome job the site and the mag keep up the great work

here is one of those local mags well a link to it at least

will a Renzetti traveler head, accept the saltwater jaws??

answer to this question is no you have to buy the head that cost about as much as just the jaws the salt jaws are wider and will not fit the reg jaw slot any ways www.bmfs.net carrys them not sure if jsflyfishing carrys renzetti if they do they can get them any ways good luck and tight lines rhino................

i got a ton done last night 15 olive scuds in size 14 little easier on the eyes to tie on the line and the fish should be able to find them easier if you guys want pics tell me good luck and tight lines rhino..................

is size 18 small enough or to small here is some pic's of a olive and a big horn scud hope the pic look good

btw how many do you have to tie sorry never swaped i read the rules but was not sure

is there any open fly swaps or one that needs a extra guy any ways good luck and tight lines rhino...............

only problem i can see is eye sight and being able to tie small knots when needed

here is a standard proportion chart for a steel head fly pic below

as for materials to many to list you can use floss yarn silli floss etc.. for the body wing goose shoulder or dyed calf tail squirrel tail dyed and non dyed silver squirrel and red pine squirrel married wing flies with goose shoulder etc...

start at tail work way forward get in good habit's like up and over tying using half hitches and whip finishers

along with how to strip back chenille to tie in, how to lay down a even floss body with tags and every thing else so not to gain bulk, proper techniques for tying in hackle, use of proper proportions , how to use two sided mylar tinsel.how to make perfect heads, use of nail polish to make a gloss head take me about 6 coats etc...

any ways just eye balling the correct size is all that is needed for proportions

any ways hop this stuff help get you started good luck and tight lines rhino................

i would try j stockards they got better stuff then hook hack just my thoughts though and better prices and they ship to canada same with hh here is a link to js

Rhino,

 

Thats a good tip, I like wrapping it as a collar and pulling down as a throat! Good call man!

 

Although my supply of pheasant rump feathers is long gone, long gone.

 

phil

make a great spey hackle to and it come in tons of colors i like the skins best not only do you get the rump but other feathers as well for other fun stuff any ways here is a link to sum

thanks for the comments all around....yeah I'm a sucker for soft hackle style....plus the guinea fowl hackles I have are mostly on the long side....greatly appreciated

one those are awesome

two have you ever tried pheasant rump feathers from a ring neck pheasant and used it as hackle like soft hackle or guinea fowl. gives that natural brownish look i love with a little shimmer from the feathers natural iridescent huge. any ways thought i would see if other use this feather any ways good luck and awesome flies.........

how does "rotary centering gage" sound? and use it with the sentence "to center the hook shank for rotary tying" i do not know were the term axis came from? but they use it. any ways good luck and tight lines rhino..........

Looks to me like it may be two feathers...even different colors? mor of a brown olive palmered over the back and a true olive in the chennille? If not different collors than I can not think of a reason to utilize two feathers unless you do not have one long enough to wrap all the way as needed :dunno:

btw color change over different materials

i have done the same thing on hexes and drys wrap fwd with hackle and tie in crystal chenille make one turn with the chenille over the hackle to jump the hackle and flip the hackle back. then wrap the rest of the chenille fwd and then wrap the hackle and tie it off any ways hope that helps good luck and tight lines rhino............

try sally Hansen's hard as nails nail polish in clear it what they use for waspi etc... head cement.if you do not thin, it will cover and gloss in 3-6 coats but has to dry in between coats. and yes it come in it own little bottle it what i have use on my glossiest head flies i like it best over black thread it what i use on my salmon flies.

you can change colors up like your thinking. here is a few samples of of flies i tied for caddis one the elk hair in tan which we all know what it is and how it tied because it's the grannom med brown sage.

all i do is change all the material colors to dun gray like dun gray hackle adams dubbing and and use a wing of natural dun colored cdc. to imitate chimarra aterrima and chimarra agustiapennis. a.k.a. the little black caddis

one problem with bwo nymphs were i live and fish they are to small to see in the roaring water so size 16 and 18 are better top fish then say a 20 or 22 bwo

but yes the pt nymph is better to fish the the fat nymph of the hares ear nymph

any ways hope this helps good luck and tight lines rhino.................
