I love seeing all the really talented tiers and designers work on here along with all the other great information. I've tied off and on for a few years, but have really hit it hard the last 3-4 months and am improving with both my tying and design skills.(my tying still leaves a lot to be desired!) These are some of my favorites I've tied this month. Welcome! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philly 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2020 I've been doing a lot of tying, just haven't gotten around to taking pictures. Here's a couple I did recently. Can't figure out how to insert a picture between the lines. A small shad/bunker pattern Hook: Gamkatsu SC 15 size 8 Body: Olive over White Senyo Lazer Dub Eyes: Living Eyes Head: UV Resin This was the first popper I learned to tie 25 or so years ago. The guy who showed it to me called it a "Fun Foam Popper" Hook: Straight eye dry fly hook, size 6 or 8 Body: Wrapped dry fly hackle Tail: Marabou Head: Craft foam circle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RexW 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2020 "March Brown" Salmon Fly - Round two Second attempt at this pattern. I completely misjudged the body color produced by silver monkey and "rusty orange" seal fur dubbing. Fortunately, Mark had an example of the real thing. Thanks for the help! I still don't have any either of these materials, but it is shedding season and the color looks pretty close... I still need to work on my feather wing technique, but I'm much happier with this one than the first attempt. Per Kelson's recipe: Tag: Gold oval tinsel Tail: GP topping Body: Weimaraner (Yep, Chuck stood still too long... ) Rib: Gold oval tinsel Throat: Partridge hackle Wings: Mottled Turkey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
