HFT 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 After screening the river a week ago I noticed that the eyes were very prevelant in the eggs in my screen. Then as I recalled other screenings I had done they were prevelant in those eggs also. So I worked on this embrio egg: eyes, spine,yoke,viens. I have yet to fish it because it is only a few days old but I am sure it will catch fish. But I am after a bigger species-Fly fisherman. What do you think? good,bad or indifferent?

Beadheads#1 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 For real? If so, I think you have the latest in fishermen catching bugs. How long did it take to create? As long as the gestation of the egg? You could call it Stem Cell Research........ Good job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HFT 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2005 Formula: Hook-Daiichi 1510-10 Yoke-3mm plastic bead(this one is orange)from spinner making supplies Thread-14/0 primrose spine- size A rod wraping thread black viens-size A tying thread Danville 210 Eyes-lg.black round rubber leg Egg-clear hot glue Thanks for the uplifting comments. I tie a bunch of the innerbodies up before I get the glue gun going. No marker envolved,tie the bug and envelop it in hot glue. The red viens are a small piece of thread tied in and split up. I like the name Stem cell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(I'm not kidding about buying some HFT! I've never really used any kind of egg imitation, but this one's got me ready!) Luvinbluegills,I don't Know how much they will be. I am on contract with Pacific fly group and I sent them samples 2 days ago if a fly shop in your area does there flys they can get them for you. It usually takes 3 to 4 weeks to come out of production. I am not much on production tying myself. I tried to take a pic. of pre glue, but batteries went dead in camera. In an hour or so when the recharge I will post a pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
