swink,

would love to see a recipe and/or tying instruction on that one!!

got some sweet lookin flies in the mail today!

Thanks fella's :headbang:

I'm sure she will. Big girls do things that the skinny ones wont. lol

thanks j74snook

:hyst: I totally agree. As kids we always said they gave the best ...............

you guys aint right! :hyst:

Good deal, I was worried that they weren't there

Thanks guys lookin forward to 'em!

That mouse will hammer fish!

fish don't care about no tail color :yahoo:

haha whoops!

:hyst:

hit the postal in the morning

all done ready for an addy!

pumped about gettin these back! :headbang:

sorry fella's had to get caught up on some swaps from another form

looks like we have a good selection of shrimp so i'll tie a baitfish

will be salt fishin the first time this summer in naples and the keys :yahoo:

Looks like white is a tough color to beat for snook unless there's an objection or request i'll tie a white baitfish of some sorts.

Thick bellied or narrow and clouser like...what do the fish prefer :dunno:

One question for ya

I tied one up today and wondered how stiff is the tail on yours? Saturated mine in water and was stiff as a plank

maybe i used the wrong chenille?

holy crap its a fly rod senko! I'll take 6...dozen

Same way you'd furl a leader? Guess i got somethin new to learn

:headbang:

very nice tie!

i apologize for forgetting a SASE i didn't realize until today...i'll get a bill in the mail for ya monday :wallbash:

headin for my first salt trip this year in the glades! i'm in!

gorgeous!!!

Saw Jens "naked" fly and thought of an idea for my colored hooks. Use the hook color for the body!! Ran into two problems

1. How to tie the tag off clean without showing the thread wraps

2. Need to figure out a new material for the wing...to steep of a taper on the head to really ad anything else

maybe one of you guys could run with the idea!!!

yeh i read somewhere that del uses a colorado spinner blade to cut the shape of the body...helps it fall the correct way. Thanks for the help!

thank you for the replies. most of the pictures you see of merkins have chartreuse thread and couldn't figure out why. Guess its just what del had when the fly was developing!

thanks again

just out of curiousity why chartreuse thread? just can't figure it out :dunno:

hopefully these will suffice

cannons bunny dun

size 20 or 22 not too sure

ready for addy!

thats what my vise has looked like the past couple times i put a spey hook in there! sooo many options!

good luck!

very nice ties...however, i think you will have to send 6 dozen or so for me to test out on the other side of the pond :devil:

Love the bunny slider!!!

received a package today and under the tree!

thanks BFR!!

absolutely gorgeous flies

i'll be happy to fly over and test the blue/green one!

I picked up a fly fish america awhile back and a TN guide was raving about the "duck river gurgler" in the pattern section

basically its a gurgler that's kinda mousey...long story short i lost the magazine and improvised

duck river gurgler variant

hook: favorite bass bug hook (i tend to used a 1/0 but 2's are productive as well)

tail: chinchilla(sp?) rabbit strip 1/8 or smaller in width

body: either palmered rabbit or brown chenille

hackle: for chenille body i used brown or tan grizzly variant

legs: 2 rubber legs for each side

back: thin black 2mm foam 1st with dark brown 2mm foam over the black

the palmered rabbit strip bodies i use on the 8wt and the chenille i use for the 5 or 6wt

much quicker tie than deerhair bugs.

but yes mouse flies dominate smallies atleast here in NC :headbang:

early morning and evening/night are most productive, however, one of my largest smallies this year came on the DRG around 2pm on a sunny 90 degree day

good luck!

HOLY CRAP!!!

Love the JC and the Pheasant and the hackle and the hook and and and....

Great Fly! :headbang:
