headscan Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Well, the weather sucks so I figured it was time to get down to tying while watching some college football. Whipped up some intruders and wrapped some wire worms. On to some midge nymphs next. Green and black Chartreuse Hot pink and purple So what's coming off everyone else's vises?

nebc Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 No pctures handy but spent time tying doc spratelys, carey specials, various microleeches and a few chironomids. I liked the photos of thoes wets as well as the intruders...the latter are hard on material it looks like, however I got the Nor-vise tube fly option and a decent supply of some of the right stuff...just waiting for a shipment to try tying those. Only issue here is I know this may well lead to a real need to buy a spey rod....to partly replace my 8 weight Sage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only issue here is I know this may well lead to a real need to buy a spey rod....to partly replace my 8 weight Sage... Not too much material on those intruders. Dubbing or polar chenille, tinsel or wire, schlappen, marabou, lady amherst, krystal flash, and rhea (the only expensive thing). Ostrich can be substituted for rhea and it's much cheaper. You don't need a spey rod to cast intruders and stuff, it's just easier on your arms if you chuck them all day. Anyhow, this thread isn't to debate single vs double handed rods (that's already been done to death). Nice ties everyone. Keep 'em coming. I tied some chironimids... Then got incredibly bored with them (slightly ADD) so I tied another intruder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordo Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 After tying a bunch of nymphs, figured I give a go at a new attractor pattern. I call it the August fly. It's really just a Stimulator hybrid, with rubber legs and a foam body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Those are nice and buggy looking. Should work well as both a hopper and stone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure if I can roll a Hopper/Stonefly and maybe a large Caddis into one fly I can cut back on the number of boxes I have to carry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanny Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Been tying up a bunch of boatmen and caddis larva, plan to start on winter nymphs as bhurt mentioned. This long weekend has been devoted to building a bench for the winter months so my tools quit getting buried under a mound of materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agbff Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Good work dude! That bench is looking killer, I can barely fit two elbows onto my bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhurt Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Sweet bench wanny, but I dunno I like my organized chaos. Spun these caddis larva up today, one of two patterns I use in the winter time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
