Garhan Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Great flies everyone. Here is a new Extended body parachute on a # 14.
Garhan Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 How'd you tie the extended body? Looks great I used a rotary vice and a blank #8 streamer hook 3x long with wraffia as the main body. From there you can do almost anything you want to follow traditional patterns or not so traditional patterns.
Garhan Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Very nice extended body green dake Garhan Thank you. Here are a couple more. I am also working on extended body nymphs, but they still need some refining.
SilverDoctor Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Tying up a few winged wet highland caddis for the season.
Ricinus Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Overton's-don't see that much anymore. Looks like you've been busy. Regards Mike
SanJuanWorm Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Lornce you have way too many flies. Please bring some over.
SilverDoctor Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Always tying a few flies here and there. Love the Overtons for touch dubbing, cant find it any more, or anything matching it, bought a case of 12 in the 70's. Just cracked my last one. Overton's-don't see that much anymore. Looks like you've been busy. Regards Mike
tgo Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I tied a few of these up the other day. These ones have rubber but I also decided to tie a bunch more using stretch floss instead. I think I like the stretch floss better. Pat's Rubberlegs

And here I thought I had the only remaining container of Overton's. Unlike you though, my single container has lasted me about 25 years, and it's only 1/3 gone. At the current pace it'll last till I'm 116. Terry PS mine still has the price sticker on it -- $4.95 at the Fishin Hole.

SilverDoctor Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I tied commercially in another life. Mine are marked $3.50. This one will most likely last longer but I nee to research something to replace it. bhurt says I have to tie till I'm 116. And here I thought I had the only remaining container of Overton's.

SilverDoctor Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Love those small streams, but winged and wingless wets work on big waters too....

SilverDoctor Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 Yea I saw that, out of my budget for sure, I'm sure there is something out there that would work as well for touch dubbing. Just have to find it. I've got about half a tube left. I saw a used tube on Ebay a while back go for $30. Regards Mike

Hi Lornce....so when this certain wax arrives from Wales m8, I'll let you know it's name/cost etc., cause after reading on 'how to make wax' that Roast posted, a m8 of mine is sending me what he uses...a very sticky wax, that he just dabs on the thread..even seal fur can't run away...................Wolfie
