July flies from the bench

Recommended Posts

Never need an excuse for Guiness. Its medicinal.

 

I wasn't sure how I was going to explain the kitten having an nose ring to the wife but managed to lift him away in time.

Piker,

That's funny ... typical cat, typical cat person leaving the picture in the line up.

 

It's what I'd do, too ... if I let my cats get near my fly tying stuff. When it's out, the kitties stay away. When I am done tying, the stuff goes away so the cats can't get to it.

Flytire, that red ant is excellent.

 

Are those red beads under the epoxy/UV resin? Or something more buoyant?

How do you get the ant red, I understand to use epoxy but what do you put in it to make it read?

Not tied to represent anything more to improve technique.


The MRC (Mouse, Rabbit and Chicken)

I would appreciate feed back on proportions, position of post and density of hackle please.


Tied on a Lucian's Demon 110BL #16 dry fly hook.

Some recent bass bugs

Your profile says you are a beginner but it looks like you sure know how to spin deer hair awfully good! Very nice looking flies indeed!!!

Half,

 

I don't see anything "wrong" with that MRC. I maybe would tighten up the abdomen a bit, but that's just me. Try it on the fish, if they like it, then your golden.

On my bench I have a pot for odds and ends I tie up, usually to explain a technique or see if an idea will work. I had a rummage through it today There were a couple of odd hooks, so I tied something on them. The result is...

Now back to tying by the dozen.

Cheers,
