fly_fischa 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2009 Hi Guys a bit of fluff on a hook to join the gang! 112 Pages I've got to be part of this thread, how did I miss it What a great idea Claudia! Some great looking flies by everyone. Posted these on the coldwater forum yesterday(Sorry if you've already seen them), some flies I cranked out the other night. Not one of my own patterns the original creator is Murray Wilson (Great Aussie Flytyer). After catching quite a few wily browns on it I tied up 4 dozen in various colours. Heavy Wire Hook Tail Hackle Barbs Simple dubbed body Thread Ribbing (Optional) Wngcase Henry’s Fork CDC hackle - two strands for large hooks 12#’s and one strand for small hooks 14#’s. http://www.montanafly.com/mfc_tyingmateria...ork_hackle.html It won't win any beauty contests but is easy to tye and very effective Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fly_fischa 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2009 Lovely tie Rocky Hans your flies are an inspiration, perfect proportions, material choice and technique. I've got so many soft hackles after my 4th go I think I'll razor most of them. :whistle: I'll keep trying but these deceptively simple ties are very difficult to get right, they might be quick to tie but not to master.
