bertgwen 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2012 I hope you are joking. While I did say 5" preferable, the minimum is set at 4". Forrest and Mr Fly, your flies look great. Good to see progress being made. I plan on sitting down Tuesday night and deciding what to tie, ordering materials as necessary. Keep it up. robert the fly has to be 5 inches minimum. It cant be 4 inches make them bigger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polarbear78 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 Heres what I'll be tying. A version of the super charger. Lots of colors including chartreuse red and black Looks good. How big are those eyes? They look massive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFlyFisherGuy 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 I switched it up as I ran out of materials for the supercharger. Heres my flies, black and white double bunnies. 4 inch length... fly eyes are called big gold fly eyes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFlyFisherGuy 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 plus the materials for the supercharger are expensive and it is time consuming to tie it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Polarbear78 0 Report post Posted February 7, 2012 This is my first attempt at the half and half. Didn't turn out too bad for a first try. I can see a few things I would like to change as far as my technique at some parts and material proportions. This one will go into my fly box and probably another one or two "practice" flies before I start production for you guys. Finished length is about 5" Materials: Mustad 3407 2/0 6/0 Chartreuse Thread 7/32" Barbell eyes White saddle hackle Silver Flashabou Red buck tail Chartreuse buck tail Sally Hanson's hard as nails Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
