johnnyquahog 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Not to take anything away from any of these files.... they all reflect talent and experience Eide's muddler/zonker is pretty Kool. I have a couple of Don Gapen's original muddlers in unopened bubble packs. He didn't come close to tying them this nice. Stmflies - your diver is just about perfect. I like the blends. Most of my blend attempts wind up on the floor and then the shop vac. I don't think Larry Dahlberg ever imagined his original diver could evolve into this show piece.

Stmflies 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks johnny! The color blending does get quite messy. I usually try to start out with more hair than I need because I know half of it is gonna end up on the floor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fish For Life 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Getting ready for some spring pike surface fun. Not as good as some of the amazing spun hair flys ive seen on here, but they will do both me and the pike fine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wschmitt3 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2015 Eide, My vote is for the long rubber legs. Stm and fishforlife, Tying the multi color deer hair bugs like you guys have done here is like some kind of mystical process that simply amazes me. I have tried a few two tone with black and orange alternating stripes and they were absolutely terrible. I can spin for muddlers and hoppers but not consistently well I get two good ones for every three I tie but what you guys do is amazing. Hats off to all these tiers, very nice work gents. -Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
