Sleek. Interesting little project the family has going: https://www.popsflies.com/

Nicely done, as usual.

Thanks Heff2. Tied two a few weeks ago, had a little success on a new WW river but lost them pretty quickly. So I tied up these to try again. Little rough around the edges, kinda funky winding the hackle and thread through the beads. I like the way they cast and how they look in the water.

nice

Lol - payback's a bitch.

Sounds like a great time, glad you enjoyed yourselves.

LoL - that one always makes me laugh.

Weeding out the buggers, decided to do a few with glass beads for bodies on the recycled hooks. Might be another name for these, not sure. Glass Bead Body Bugger Hook - #8 streamer Body - glass beads, 11/0, black or clear, 4-6 depending on shank length Thread - black 8/0 Tail - black marabou and 1 strand per side FTD H2O Twist Pearl Tan Hackle - black saddle hackle in various lengths

Nice tie, reminds me of a coffin fly.

Really nice work.

Nice ties, here and the previous post. Try some Starling if you want to be frustrated by delicate stems.

Nicely done.

An elegant little vise, thanks for the photo. Have you tied on it yet?

Nice! Do you mind saying where you found it?

That's a beaut!

That's a real beauty.

Beautiful nonetheless. Enjoyed that, thanks. Here's part one: https://youtu.be/6iNXMOCRmOA Worth a watch, IMHO.

Very nice CP

Nice

I once caught a bat up in Vermont, thank goodness for barbless hooks as he released himself flopping around on the ground. Had a beaver get tangled in my leader while he was swimming below the surface and I had to cut my line, thought I had a monster bass on for a second. Hooked a goose on the back-cast once, lost my Clouser on that one too. I've come pretty close to catching a few Waxwings while we all enjoyed a sulfur hatch. Never had anything deliver my fly right to a fish, but believe me I could use the help.

I drive an SUV now. I'm too old for those smaller, lower to the ground cars.

Thanks, that about what I would think, at a minimum, for me at least. The little fishing I have been able do lately has been mostly for large and small mouth, been thinking about tying some up after my next trip to the fly shop.

Agree - good read, as always.

That looks great - how long does you to make one of those? 👍 Another beauty off your vise. Do you know who makes that salmon rabbit fur?

That's a pretty one - bright and airy.
