September flies from the vise

Nice casket Eide . Looks like the super deluxe model.

The super-deluxe model will have the old Allcock hooks

 

 

It will never cease to amaze me how Eide and others can tie such clean flies in such small hooks, and even smaller.

One day I will learn. Maybe.

Nothing like starting today!

Start with a pattern, one that you master, then tie smaller and smaller version of the exact same pattern: maybe from #10 down to #20, depending on what you are doing. Then you learn how to scale down to smaller hooks

Little suckers were hard to get a decent pic of last night. 20"er stones tied with Ice Dub instead of the naturals.

Eide,

The real problem is that there is NO pattern that I master...!

 

I did well on this little guy today. Head is messy, but I was in a hurry. Thank God for UV resin.

Hey Cream

What Technique did you use to tie the legs in?

Do a search for 20"er stone fly. Charlie Craven has a great tutorial online that will be one of the top hits. You tie in a partridge feather by the tip, upside down, under the shellback. Then pull it right side up and forward, tie down, then pull the shell back over it.
