September Flies From the Vise

Recommended Posts

There are occasions when I see a fly and think, "Now THAT design will catch fish for sure",  this is one of those.  Very VERY nice concept and design.  Congrats!

Nice flies and vise!  That looks like the Orvis edition HMH Standard?

Nothing special about the fly, a pretty basic muddler (here’s the video if you’re interested) but it gave me a chance to try out the winging stuff from the Dungeon; has the same texture as Kreinik Flash-in-a-Tube but a hell of a lot cheaper.  Note that all you Kreelex tiers.

hook - WFC Model 6 #6
thread - UTC 140 tan
tail - bronze mallard
rib - small tinsel gold
body - Ice Dub Hare’s Ear tan
wing - FTD Northern Lights gold/brown
collar/head - deer hair

Regards,
Scott

Okay, tied this to send in to the Mayfly swap they've got going on. Not in the swap but just sent some extras since I was tying them. Emerger with CDC collar and Wally Wings.

A very cool fly and video from David Downie.  May try to scale it down to a #14 and tie it in orange as a LaFontaine Buzzball companion.

hook - BVFT Dry #10
thread - UTC 140 black
breathers - Congo Hair white
rib - medium tinsel opal
body - dubbing fiery brown
collar/head - deer hair

Regards,
Scott

This is a dry fly I saw Davie McPhail tie on a video last spring. It’s the famous “Waterhen bloa” tied as a dry fly. i liked it and gave it a go and not always with flies that I tie I stilled liked it after I tied it.lol

The longish chamois looking strip on the tail probably doesn't hurt, either, if that is indeed what the material is.  When wet, it has a texture and action like none other.
