Twofingerz 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2007 got out of work early today so put my free time to good use....sort of. A couple of Flashabou Streamers with horrible looking heads. i am thinking i tied the flashabou in too far back and wasnt able to make the appropriate head. And some sort of freestyle deer hair popper. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inconnu 0 Report post Posted March 26, 2007 If it really bothers you, paint the head with a couple of coats of black nail polish and put eyes on it. It would look like it was supposed to be tied like that. They are nice patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twofingerz 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2007 thank you iwas trying a hair technique that I think is called Stirring. take two different colors of deer hair in stacker at same time, stir them up with bodkin and wind up with mottled stack of hair. the tail portion of that fly is a recycle. I had stripped the front half of an existing fly off and just tied in the deer hair. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
