Ridleyffo 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2009 Got my package today. Felt like a little kid the past two days going to the mailbox. It was worth the wait. I really like all of the flies. I especially like snook's grass shrimp. It will be deadly in the salt creeks up here by docks and such. The streamer mouse tied will be a real weakfish killer. Mouse is that weighted inside the body? That murdered muppet from RM is certainly interesting. What is the material? craft fur? Is there a special technique for tying that or do you tie it like a deceiver? Thanks all! Great swap snook. Snook I wouldnt complain about the short hours at your post office. They didnt postmark my envelope so I have $1.72 in free reusable stamps. :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest rich mc Report post Posted February 14, 2009 yes it is craft hair by hareline. cut a strip the backing crosscut wise, then pull ,it will streach into a rope . then hackle on. it give bulk without holding water. rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a pleasure doing this swap as the grass shrimp is my favorite to tie. I would have tied it on a 10 x steamer hook but only had two left and the shop i goto was out. Well good deal on the envelope. Small towns are good for something. :drunk: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snook what do you use to make the tail stiff? is that super glue? I use my bodkin and apply gloss coat to shellback and tail on top and bottom. you can also use thinned opoxy but I find it easier and less mess with gloss coat.

mouse6196 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 I got my flies today. What a great addition to my collection. I'm addicted to tying saltwater flies but as I live no where near saltwater, I just collect them until that day when I use them. I'll be in Flroida this year and these flies will be going with me. J74snook, great swap and I love that shrimp. I'll be using that one up here in freshwater and will be tying some for myself. The Murdered Puppet will also double as a great Steelhead fly up here. Thanks everyone for such great looking flies. My collection is now looking really good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
