The "Garcia's Mini Hot", the "Quill Gordon", and everything Kimo posts are really nice today. Mark, those baitfish patterns are nice. That is a tying style that I do not know how to do. Well done. Thanks Rex, It's kind of a cross between a Clouser and a Rainbow Runner. I put an SBS in the SBS sub-forum. I agree, your the Claret & Black is killer.

McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 Got the abdomen technique from an article written by Kenneth Einars. It was on tying a caddis but I thought that would make a killer hopper! So, I think I have my new go to micro hopper!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noahguide 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 McFly, Nice hopper. You made me seek out the link to the original. Perhaps not your source but illuminating on the technique. https://globalflyfisher.com/patterns-tie-better/einars-floating-foam-caddis-pupa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 i believe the hemostat melting/warming/crimping of hollow tube (larva lace, liquid lace etc) material technique was used years ago by shane stalcup in his book looks good with the foam too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 Like I said before, this virus ain't good for much but it good for tying. Everybody's tying really good stuff the last couple of months. Lovin' the Mini Hots Scott but I really keep going back to that chartreuse one. I haven't gotten into foamies yet but that mini hopper is really good, Mcfly and that midge makes ME want to bight it, Kimo. That's really good.

Landon P 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2020 This fly is special to me. Although it might never be fished it make me happy. I made it for my mom who is working in the emergency room on mothers day. She works so hard to keep the peace in our house and i thought she deserved it. Hopefully she likes it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
