Hi everyone! I have been away for awhile and just getting back to tying.

This is a Pats rubber legs extended body.

I keep tying the Bronze Goddess.

Nice looking flies, Chia.

I tied a few of these up awhile back and didn't like the way the chenille looked wrapped around the eyes. So I tried using some Ice Dubbing and wrapping that around the eyes. It seemed to look better to me, but either way they will still fish.

Ron, don't sell yourself short man. Those nymphs will definitely fish! They look great!

It looks to be in the range of $50.00 vises. Probably works very well for the average tier ... not good enough for commercial quantity tiers.

What Mike said, if you're not a commercial tier it will serve the purpose. I tied on the one I had for at least 10 years and it did every thing I expected it to do.

My 1st rotary vise looked just like that one. It was a made in India knock off. I bought it at Jann's NetCraft in Maumee, Ohio about 20 years ago.

I have only tried tying with deerhair a couple times, so today i decided to give it a serious try to hone my skills. Definitely something i have to do more of. Go easy on me guys

Roedeer hair (i belive)

Brown foam for ears and 4mm eyes (both glued on)

Papa, that mouse will definitely work! I don't even bother putting eyes or ears on mine and they still catch fish!

 

 

Thanks! Blue has been a good prince nymph color for me lately. This is a little more stoneflyish, which are usually good winteritme here

I think those might catch some steelhead out of the Lake Erie tribs.

Don't ya know that's exactly where I'm gonna drift them!

 

Good luck when you go. Maybe one of these days we'll get some water in the rivers up there!

should do well this winter, I hope

Dubs, I like the looks of these! They should work good.

Thanks Kirk.

Here's a sz. 14 Goddard Caddis I did awhile back.

Nice looking flies, Frank!

That color pattern should get some looks.

Kirk, on your rabbit streamer, do you dub the body and then brush it out or do you use a dubbing loop?

Nice looking flies guys! Joe I would have to have a wooly bugger in the mix.

What is the red on your fly? Chennille or yarn?

I have seen trout like that as well as a smallmouth bass.

In the article he says he has been tying for a whole 2 months and is still having some trouble! Enough said!!!

Nice Goddard Caddis Flytyer.

 

I have just realised I trim the rear part of the wing in the wrong direction..... DOH!

 

Cheers

I went back and looked at yours. There's nothing wrong with the way you clipped the back end. I've seen them done both ways. They will still catch fish trimmed either way.

Tied up a few of these for bluegills and trout, sz. 14.

utyer thanks for the explanation on the flies.I think I understand what you're doing.

Those look pretty sweet utyer! Could you maybe do a SBS for us?

agn54, check and see if your camera has a Macro setting. That's what I set mine to so I can take close up pictures.

It looks pretty darn good to me! Go catch some trout on it.

Playing with some ideas. Lots of grass hoppers, katydids, crickets and spiders have very long legs. So, I tied this one up with a lot of leg.

And I am still trying different sunfish color variations, trying to find something that will get big hits in my waters.

Maybe try this one out for a sunfish fly. I tied up a few but really haven't fished them much.

can you say AWESOME!!!!!!

I'm no carp expert either but have caught several on the long rod. I would also try some crawdad imitations and larger nymphs like a hares ear sz. 10
