Old Hat 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2008 Hi bobfly, Great looking bunch of dries. I especially like the salmon irresistible. I happen to have a very nice river close by that is well known for its steelhead taking dries in the early Fall months. You just have to tip toe through the rattlesnakes to get to the good water. The Orange Bomber would be perfect for this water. I will have to tie a couple of those up for this year. Nice Job. Some Steelie Dry Fly Water Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some Steelie Dry Fly Water Great piece of real estate. my mouth waters every time I see pics. like that. You blokes just don`t know how lucky you are over there.

Harold Ray 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 The Mad Fly Tyer strikes again!!! Bob, I don't believe anyone here ties as fast as you do while tying beautiful flies consistently in so many different styles. Every time I log in I see more of your great flies. How long have you been tying? Ray Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long have you been tying? Ray Ray, I`ll let you into a little secret. I occasionally dip into my collection, but not too often. most (98%)are straight off the vise. i find changing fly styles stops me getting stale. Started tying in 1950 and still as enthusiastic as I was then, and, i`m not mad, just a little bent :bugeyes: :bugeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2liner 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 beautiful flies i find the bombers very nice when you make them do you tie in the hackel, spin the deer hair, then wrap the hackel and tie it off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobfly 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 beautiful flies i find the bombers very nice when you make them do you tie in the hackel, spin the deer hair, then wrap the hackel and tie it off? No i don`t. I tie a bit of wire at the tail end before I spin the hair. when I`ve trimmed the hair I tie the hackle in at the head , wind to the tail then tie down by winding the wire through to the head. It`s a little tricky but easy enough done if you take your time . Makes for a pretty tough fly as well. Cheers bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
