July Flies From the Vise

[chugbug27 0]

More trikes!...  

This tie is from a couple of Brits, Peter Hayes and Don Stazicker, from their eBook, Flies that Trout Prefer. They call this style, "Flat in the Film" flies -- their idea on this style fly is to imitate crippled duns and spinners by tying the wings in the same plane of the hook curve, so as to better disguise the hook. The book is full of odd ideas like this one.

Should be tied using the whole hook, but I only brought light wire curve hooks in a 20 (traveling), so I left the front of the shank bare to size these about 4 or 5 mm. We'll see if the trout notice.

They insist on z-lon for everything (including the body, serendipity style) -- I used Aunt Lydia's for tail and wings, thread for abdomen, superfine dubbing for the thorax.

Here's the female

Orange  always seems to appeal to trout and salmon. Add the peacock herl and this pattern should be deadly!!

Hipp's Soft-Bodied Popper

Tied a few of this pattern a couple weeks ago as a test run, they seemed to do pretty well so started tying a few more.  The far right flies in the last photo were in the first batch.

Thanks. 

Building the bodies goes a little faster once you've done a few. The painting takes a little time as it needs the drying time.
