I haven't spent much time at the vice over the past couple months, but finally sat down this past weekend and a few flies appeared.

Okay that's it, I don't know what you guys have been drinking but between Thecream, Deerhairdan, and Flytire, someone owes me a keyboard and a replacement beer. Snort! Thanks guys, it's been a long hard two days and I needed that.

 

Oh and Cheech you need to get together with Adam to collaborate on a reindeer Christmas fly. I wonder what the penalties for shipping reindeer poop is?

I love that picture with the hoppers. It is like a hopper fight to death, hopper parts all around, and these are the last four standing.

Cream, that's the nicest rack I've seen to date on this site. Your weekend challenge is to post a picture of that fly hanging out of a fishes mouth (caught - don't go piercing lips at the seafood counter at the supermarket)

 

Don't think I won't try.

Nice notenutoys

Simple, yet highly effective. Kept buying store bought one's for years, only to have the thread come unravelled. I thought to myself, there's nothing to it, I can make a better one. Then the addiction started.

Though mostly tied as a dry fly the Wickham's Fancy is also a great wet fly. This variation, known as the Black Wickhams, has been a great fly for me over the years. It is also good in larger sizes for sea trout (sea run browns).

Cheers,

2nd try at a realistic, there is a picture of the subject & a picture of a crazy system i thought of! TMC 103BL #17 & went old school, no UV resin, just superglue!

Adam, I think you got the crazy part right. Just not sure how to apply the word lol !

 

Ya know I had this "crazy" crane fly pattern I took to Maine with me for a couple of years, it was all legs and stuff too. I thought for sure this was going to be "the" magic brookie killer. Well after about the 10th small chub each year, I finally gave up on the thing. Then it sat on my sheep skin patch on my vest I think for two more years, because lets face it , it looked cool before the legs started falling off etc. and I chucked it. Well, for all the work, I seriously hope your fly works better than that.
