  1. This guy is tougher than Taco and Chuck Norris
  2. Little problem with the GSXR, my nephew took it for his birth day. I'll make another.
  3. Whip finish and use some head cement. I use these markers to color it. This way after its been in the water and you havent lost it you can recolor it. Or use black to make a black stone. Heres the final product. Hope to see some of you try it.
  4. 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.
  5. I colored this piece brown with a brown 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Don't mend with streamers. Let you loop face down stream directly opposite the way you'd nymph. When the river pulls the line it puts some action on teh streamer. Most of my fish are caught on the swing with streamers. End of your drift strip it in a few times as many fish will follow your streamer to the end of the drift. PS: HANG ON IF YOU GET A HIT.
  9. The reason I chose the name is because the wing goes from black to blue to red. From dusk til dawn. You can also bet that im going to buy 10 issues of next months magazine.
  10. Lynn, for you? Anything. Here is a bigger photo. Lynn the shipping on this framed fly comes to 150 bucks. But i'll give you the fly for free. Combined i'd say this was about 6 hours or so to finish. The most work goes into creating a smooth tapered body. Each layer of thread and floss is added and then polished with a stone.
  11. Congrats and now u have to try eating those little silica packages that come with electronics soemtimes.
  12. Dude I don't call your mom. SHE CALLS ME. Get it right.
