Guest Big E Report post Posted April 1, 2010 Rcvd flies today from bigdewy...all I can say is wow...big props to you for tying those. You're right...dunno how you tied them much less how I'm going to get it on my tippet. I have problems with 8s at pre-dawn by the light of the dome light of my truck...I think, nay, I know I will have problems with these at the bench with the big magnifying glass. Thanks a lot for the extras, you're too kind. Never tried a stimi on SRC but willing to give them a go if they survive spring and summer bow fishing.

Guest Big E Report post Posted April 3, 2010 Rcvd flies today from Flytire. Awesome set of flies....only one problem...they look exactly like what I was going to tie! :wallbash: Guess I'll have to do a different pattern. Thanks a bunch for the extras...very kind of you. Never fished a redbird so I'm looking forward to trying that out. The monopoly cards were a great idea. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Big E Report post Posted April 7, 2010 you should have told me when i posted a photo on march 11th of what i was tying and i would have chosen something else to tie! :dunno: Nah...yours look much better than mine. I hadn't really started tying yet, just tying up different ideas with what material I have. I've actually (believe it or not) tied up 8 different patterns so far and still haven't decided what ones to tie up. I don't know if any one else does that but I seem to tie quite a lot of "preliminary" flies. I think I'm going to tie up some red and black ice cream cones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockworm 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2010 I do the same thing: Try different materials, different approaches. And when I decide on a pattern I will often go through half a dozen prototypes- tweeking proportions, placement of material, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
