But 30! Dude lifes surely too short. Here are a couple of Salmon flies thinking ahead to the warmer weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Riffle/Piker, great looking streamers! Those look fun to tie, one day I'll get around to delving in to those beauties. Joops, cool looking boogie! Here are some balsa minnows I made and hard foam bobber popper. They are all mounted on the Gama SC15 hook with the minnows having a SS wire wrapped around the hook to extend it; if they explode when fighting a big fish the fish will still stay attached to the tippet.

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Thanks Ben I'm glad you got to follow Kirk now I can post my measley little fly I don't like the body and I was to lazy to steam a topping for this one but it turned out all right I guess 30 slips in each wing consisting of mottled turkey, red yellow and magenta goose, speckled argus and argus secondary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Kirk, WOW loving the minnows. I need to think of a swap we can trick you into sending a dozen of those to! Chefben, the JC is working out ok on the salties I see. Riff that ones another knock out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kirk Dietrich 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Riffle, thanks. I'm happy with the way that third one turned out, just have to remember for the next batch; those Copic air markers make it easy and over the foil, they really look good. I could do similar with thinned out acrylic and brush but the air marker makes it easy using masks. Ched, thanks but its not a competition and that JC on that fly looks great. I wish I would have had that on my tippet when some small black tip sharks showed up on a redfish flat a couple weeks ago. Thanks Piker, Halloween is over but I may stick an extra treat in your bag.
