Johnny and Batt...nice deerhair work. Those dogs will hunt! This is a great start. Eide, how did you wrap that cdc? Cheers, Ed

The tail is done by wrapping two whole feathers, the body is done with magic tool in dubbing loop

Bad day yesterday.... first fishing trip canceled due to inattentiveness and collapsed bearings on the trailer... So, I relaxed today with just the one tie.... a #2 congo hair shrimp....

congo hair bluegill, 3rd attempt: First try at a deceiver type fly. 4 hackle tail, pearl crystal flash, twisted crystal flash body, craft fur and arctic fox collars. Generic articulated nymph. Too much thorax i think. Ultra simple craw bugger thing. Hope this works. Wont mind losing a dozen of these. Marabou tail, lead eyes, FTD's sea dragon dubbing(sand dragon) in a loop. Apologies for the poorly edited post and meh cel phone pics. Give a new guy a break, eh?

Very fishable flies, Fishinguy. Love the Sea Dragon and Kraken Dubbing from FTD.

Have been watching Jerry French on youtube and i really liked his composite loops, so i tries to adapt the idea to tying trout streamers. Tied on a 25 mm. shank and a b10s hook.

Nice ties!! Grieb is that congo hair?

Yes Sir! congo hair.

a couple of random bugs. I unknowingly superglued (zap-a-gap thin formula) the adjustment screw on my vise yesterday. After soaking in acetone for an hour and running to the store to get a 7/64 hex wrench and spraying with wd40 I am back in business. 2+ hours I'll never get back.

Johnny.... nice hair job. Are your legs made from rubber bands? Looks like it to me.

[Henrik Thomsen (DK) 0]

The classic Danish sea trout fly for migrating sea trouts in the streams.

Hagebrofluen.

Still need to practice with the wings.

FF Thanks! The package is labeled "predator legs". I need a couple more colors of the same or similar looking material. The rubber elastic looking stuff dries out and crumbles.

So was fishing the other day and i went trough about 20 flies before I tied on and elk hair caddis to see if the bass wanted to eat something, well they tore it up! but they only wanted it moving sub surface which an ehc isnt designed to do. Long story short a tree finally ate my fly and I stopped catching fish. So I want to design something that looked like a ehc but fished like a streamer. Heres what I came up with

 

coyote mask tail

hairs mask dubbing

stiff hackle and copper ribbing

elk hair wing

spun elk hair head.

 

I like it, will refine it some, any comments?
