rich5665 0 Report post Posted December 23, 2009 Finding nice red materials for the "Eric the Red" pattern was a challenge, I found a nice Red Angora Dubbing, already had the Thread and J. Stockard had the Hackle. A Red material for the tail was causing me fits. I was looking for Moose dyed Red but no seems to carry Dyed Moose Hair. I have a red buck tail that looks like it will work. I tied up a test fly and quickly discovered why a different color was used for the wing on the "Eric the Red" pattern. I don't have a natural color for the wing and will be using brown or black if that's ok with everyone. I almost went festive for the Holiday, I was tempted to use a green wing, but I passed.

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted December 24, 2009 Just finished up all the pigboats. Each fly with exactly 56 rubber legs. I think there is more rubber in those 12 flies than I've dealt with in my entire tying career together. They were very fun to tie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fred H. 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2010 Ok fellow swappers . No reply from rich5665 to this post or from my PM. How long do you want to wait before I ship ? This is not normal for rich5665 . May just be away from a computor for a few days. Let me know what you think. Fred Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
