dflanagan 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2019 Only got one tied today. Still needs work...too much flash, floss work needs smoothed out, etc...but I kinda like black bear. Slick like squirrel. Great color and sheen though. Thanks, Mark. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xvigauge 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2019 Here is my latest nymph tied with materials sent from Mark Knapp. I based it on a quill Gordon nymph with substitutions and a few other minor changes. Joe Tail: bison hair Body: moose mane wrapped around hook shank Thorax: chopped up otter hair mixed with some hare's mask and dubbed Wing casing: black bear hair Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flicted 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2019 Funny, the package looked like it rolled all the way here from Alaska. But everything was fine inside. I will tie you some Black Nosed Dace with mountain goat, black bear, and will have to use my brown bucktail. I'll throw in a few other streamers that should work up there. Be patient, I will get them tied up and get them to you soon. Thanks again for sharing some unique materials. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2019 Glad you got them all safe and sound. No time crunch, we still don't have open water yet. Post up your flies here too so we can all see them. PS, check out the daces I just posted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike West 0 Report post Posted April 23, 2019 I got really sick over the weekend but I whipped this out. A fat head Thundercreek with a Lynx tail. This is on an Allen B 200 size 14 I guarantee you this will slay all the Panfish and Bass I fish for in small tanks and ponds around here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flicted 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2019 You'll get those two and a few other streamers that should work up there. All enclosed in a quality, high-dollar fly box but I'll let you be the judge on that one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
