December flies from the Vise

Recommended Posts

They won't win any beauty contests, but here's a small mess of gold ribbed hare's ear nymphs. I used Thin Skin for the wingcase and added a coating of resin.

it is a process that takes time so dont expect it overnight.

Ordered a Stonfo Dubbing Brush Device with some Christmas gift cards. It arrived today so naturally I had to set it up and spin up my first brush. Nothing fancy, just some SF Blend and Orange Predator Wrap. Came out ok for my first go at it. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of cool stuff I can come up with for dubbing brushes

You had posted a link to a site, Flytying: New & Old, yesterday with what I assumed was your work. I went there, read, and was thoroughly impressed, beautiful flies and great information, plus huge it appears. I didnt make it all the way through of course.

 

Thank you for the help!

Last of 2017 for me.

Inspired by Kelly Galloups last video. Made it single hook and changed the head for arctic fox and tear mender, which I thought was supossed to dry clear. Will cover in UV later.

Interesting about the tear mender. I always read it dried clear. I've been considering picking up a bottle... But not if it dries like that.

I am not passing judgement yet.

First I think I put way too much, then I wonder if the dispenser needle (I pour some from the bottle into a plastic dispenser) had some rust. It is old, and something similar happened with another glue that took on some coloration.

It dries hard with a little flex, and I like that.

Trying that light blue background.

As per usual you all keep the tying flame burning.

Have a happy New Year everyone.

I'm looking forward to January flies from the vise.
