They're getting better!

Recommended Posts

Flies #4 and 5. A toothbrush really helps get the underhair out of the craft fur. I've also cut my time in half to tie a fly (30 minutes 🤪)...

 

The sculpting needs some work, but it's progress!

Interesting bugs, Maction.

Interesting as in trying not to hurt my feelings interesting? It's cool, I have thick skin.

It's Giacobba's Skrimp, which (tied properly) caught me my first twenty juvenile tarpon. I  have a soft spot for this fly.

Nope, I don't care about other's feelings.  🤨  I'm not from the "modern" generation.  😉

It's interesting because of the shape, the "feelers" and the overall look.  It's not the type of fly I normally tie, so I can't guess on the effectiveness.

Welcome to the site, by the way.

@Maction17 I recognize a killer when I see one and I’d say those guys belong on a Most Wanted poster somewhere !

Ha, complimentary and discomforting all at once. Thanks for the nod.
