  1. Does it have two hooks? because it looks there is a hook eye in the middle.
  2. i Tried to get a picture of the back side of earrings to show you what i did and yes my sister wears them a lot you can go to Clair's in your mall and pick up some posts earrings. ps. the ones you tied look great they are better then my first pair(not this pair). what did you use? umm you might want to zoom out your screen when you click on them.
  3. Well what i did was tie them on light wire long shank panfish hooks from walmart and i clipped off the barbs at the bend and then i put theeye of the hook on the earring and put it in my vise and i put down a layer of thread slid the eye up on the thread base and i figure-eighted it and then i tied off put head cement on and it looked like a normal earring ill post a picture if i can figure out how. could someone help me with this?
  4. Looks like we both have problems with posting pictures.

  6. I've been visiting the site for about a month and finally deciding to log in, i am still an ametour tier and am getting better. hopefully i will meet new tiers, learn some new patterns, and techniques, what is everyone's favorite nymph or midge pattern for trout in the Appalachian mountains and Red River Gorge area?
  7. I tied up a pair of earrings for my sisters birthday and she loved them, i tie them with Dry fly Rooster Necks, #2 Badger grade 2 and Grizzly Matuka soft hackle, Olive. first i tied on the soft hackle using black thread and a long shank hook, and then i tied the badger hackle. the feathers don't have to be too long about four or three inches or so. i took them off the vise clipped the bend of the hook and put them in one of her earring boxes. experiment with this and you'l probably get more ideas and you could also take some saddle hackle and tie one earring it'l look like the hair feather things if shes into that. Then put the eye of the hook on a post if you don't know what that is ask your girlfriend, and tie it on to that hope this helps.
