Noahguide 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2019 It's quite intimidating to post on a page that has the artwork of Eide, kimo, and SBP all in a row, but what the heck, here's my piece for the refrigerator. Working on classics, inspired by Eide's Traherne from earlier this month. And one after a swim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2019 Richmc always gives me materials when I am up in Illinois. Rich, if you read this ... Please, no thank you this year. I've barely gotten into the stuff you've already given me. I don't do a lot of experimental tying. HOWEVER, that being said, I did do some tying with the materials you've given me. I tied up a bunch of size twelve caterpillar/wooly worms ... And I tie up 6 satin flies ... I'll see Rich again in March, most likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2019 Richmc suggested I look at a pattern ... Dan Blanton's "Fatal Attraction". I looked, and it looks a little too "classical" for my taste. BUT, to honor Rich's suggestion, I tried to tie one. I don't have the materials he calls out, so I had to adapt, using material Rich gave me. Original recipe from DanBlanton.com: What I used: Hook - size 8 through 2 Size 8 Aberdeen (Walmart) Tail - Silver Flashabou Gold fibers from eyelash yarn. I have silver, but my water is coffee colored, so darker gold appealed to me. Body - lead wraps with Pearlescent Diamond Braid No lead for mine ... shallow water angler. 6 strands of tinsel, furled to give the braid look. Collar - hackle No hackle the right size, so I used one wrap of white eyelash yarn. Underwing - Crystal Flash first with dark green bucktail on top. HEY! I have crystal flash, or at least FTD's version of it. Light green satin fibers. Wing - peacock herl Dark green satin fibers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
