mikechell 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2019 Yes, thank you !!! The thread spool is much nicer !!! The gum nut reminds me of the pod that the face hugger from "Alien" would pop out of. Of course, I am joking. You can continue to stick your flies into your gum nuts to your hearts content !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retrocarp 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2019 Hook: Tiemco TMC 9300 #10-12 Tail: Golden Pheasant tippet Rib: Oval silver tinsel Body: Rear red, front black, seals fur Body hackle: Furnace hen Wing: Fox squirrel Hackle: Furnace hen Thread: Danville 6/0 black First post here! Striving to improve my fly tying, so I can take on more ambitious projects - using close up photos of my efforts to reveal all my mistakes. This is a pattern inspired by Rob Denson’s Red Arrow cruncher. Tied on a slightly lighter hook and with the hairwing for some added buoyancy. Not actually planned any trips as yet to lochs or loughs, but have the feeling this is a pattern well suited as a bob fly for wild browns. Thanks for looking. Nice fly ....thanks for sharing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCream 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2019 Man!, I want one!Way cool. What size/type, weighted/dumbell eyes? It is a lizard (in my head, anyway). This is on a size 6 Daiichi 1730. The weight is some non-lead .020 and one 1/8" tungsten bead on a scrap of mono on the bottom of the hook right in the back of the deer hair head. It's just enough weight to sink it and keep it point-up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
