Clive this bug is awesome. I find rubber legs don't stand up as well.

And this statement is super crazy because Bhurt is from Louisiana.

I'll do a step by step on a killer bully fly. Just have to get some materials. I won't take credit for the pattern because it's conners. But it's a good fly.

As per request of a couple of people. Special thanks to JayVee for saving these pics from the old board. I tie in #4 and #6. Simple Mustad hook. I make a slight bend to give the stonefly a curved sort of look. Wrap the thread over the shank to make sure the lead wont slide off Tie lead down both sides of the hook shank. Make sure it stays on the sides ( practice makes perfect) Use pliers to flatten it if it wants to round. Take a feather, i use any saddle hackle in natural color and strip all the barbs off (just grab and pull them off) Do this to 8. Tie two of them in the back for the tail on the sides of the hook. Wrap over the thick ends and trim off. Cut off some nymph skin and trim off a corner to make a point. This is where you tie it in to make wrapping it forward easier and not create bulk. Once nymph skin is tied in, wrap it evenly forward in a nice segmented body. Place a bunch of dubbing at this point in a nice area to tie the legs on and mount the wing case. I have 3 wing burners to simulate the wing case size. You can also just trim out the wing case pieces. Whichever u want. Place the webwing in the burner and burn it up. You are left with a nice shape. I colored this piece brown with a brown permanent marker. Tie in the wing case segment. Once done wrap some more dubbing around it. For the legs I soak the quill body in water (or use your spit and run it down the quill) This will soften it for you to tie it in a knot. Tie in the back legs. Dub again. Tie in another set of legs. Dub it again and put the next section of wing case on. Cut a piece of bead chain. Use tweezers to help you tie it on the hook. Tie it on like dumbell clouser eyes in a crisscross pattern. Dub it again, put some more legs on it. I leave the ends of the last legs long and use them for antenna. Tie on the next section of wing case. Add the last wing by the head and whip finish. Use some head cement over the thread for durability because the browns really hammer these.. I use brown or black permanent markers to color it. This way after its been in the water and you havent lost it you can recolor it. . Hope to see some of you try it.

I use mine to get my wife to bake pies. If she gets outta line ........WHAMMMMMMMMMMMO.

Servicing the batteries on the Prius is around 14000 dollars which occurs at 4 or 5 years I believe.

I'll tie us a couple of these for bully season. Although I prefer to catch bullies on nymphs.

Does anyone realize: A ) the toxicity of the batteries when they must be diposed of? B ) the fact that a battery replacment cost on a hybrid is in excess of 10,000 dollars? Keep burnin that oil suckas.

Was it still there last time you went?

You can have this one. Least I know it'll just end up in a tree.

I caught a brown close to 30 inches 2 years ago and it took everything I had to land it with a 6 weight. Super fun though. Just a blurry pic taken via cell phone.

Yah she'll have her hands full while i'm out fishing.

I'd never find it. I'll do up some more before spring.

and another on the way.

I took Jim's course. It's pretty good.

I believe i'm allergic to all rubber.

I'm simply crucified here because i'm the most gifted fisherman here. That's all.

Welcome to the forum Bill.

Great fly Garhan.

I'll fish this one for cutties this summer.

I'll be doing this one over. I hate the short red feather and how the stems separated.

Just whittlin away at the other one. Figured i'd post some "along the way" pics.

I feel like my ideal weight for the Bow would be 200lbs, sadly im 225.

I am a drafter designer. Send me your crude drawing. PM me. I'll see what I can do.

The instant this thread turns into a pissin match i'm crackin skulls.
