Ok All is well again, it turned from one sick baby to the whole family of 6 being sick. We are all well again.

Ill get with everyone as soon as I can we have a sick baby it might be a day or two.

The Wing is Alpaca fibre, i haven't used it much, durability and movement I have no doubt it will catch fish, there is a local club here but I don't trust many of them to give me quality feedback. They just want free flies.

I was hoping some would give it a test, tyers give more accurate and better feedback than those that just fish.

I am needing 6-10 people to test a bass streamer for me. I have 4 kids 5 and under so my fly rod is not going to see the light of day for a while. I will tie 2 colors a fire tiger and a shad color, they will be tied on a #1 B10s hook unless another size is requested. I am including a picture of them below. Thanks, guys these have caught some fish for me, but I am looking for feedback good, bad, or indifferent. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Lee Blanton

Mike those are some nice looking bass bugs. We need to get together and tie up some nasty deer hair bugs. My mad scientist brain never stops.

Yes the hook is point up. I got those looks growing up as well while fishing Lake Guntersville.

I live in Weatherford as well, I teach high school in Fort Worth. I still list my address as fort worth. haha

I am looking for a Jungle Cock Cape, I would rather purchase from a US seller instead of United Kingdom, most of what I have seen on Ebay is United kingdom. Any suggestions?

Thanks mikechell the streamer is one of my one creations, but the frog is a take off the Skipper from Dahlberg, I tie it on a different hook, as well as a few other materials than the original but it is a bass getter.

My name is Lee, I am a high school speech teacher in Fort Worth, I also tie custom flies. I grew up in North Alabama where fly fishing was laughed at for the most part but now is coming around. My goal is to write a tying book on warm water flies. There are more and more books coming out about warm water flies, however, some of the flies in the book are a little rough around the edges, my goal is to produce flies for the book that catch fish as well as the fisherman. you can check out my work on Instagram @feather.and.fly or go to my website www.featherandfly.net. I look forward to being a part of the forum. Lee
