jordo Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Jordo I also like the loop on the SW. What wieght mono are you using and the other have you tried it with a hopper dropper set up. again great idea Wolfie Like your Steelhead Nymph could you supply material list. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Thanks Dennis, the mono is 20lb and yeah I add them to a lot of my hopper patterns. This is my synthetic hopper with dropper loop (although after some recent insight from Tungsten in regards to my Chernobyl hybrids; I'm looking at new ways to move the foam away from the gap).

jordo Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Nice ties Flyon, like the colors in that clouser a lot. In regards to my last tie; Tungsten, the legs were pretty cheap (I cannot remember how much, but I found them in a discount bin at the Fish'n Hole). They only come in two colors that I could find (tan and olive). Thanks for the other comments guys, always appreciate the feedback. Cheers.

jordo Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I don't often tie wets but with all the crappy weather I've gotten bored tying the usual stuff and threw a few together. I like this one the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpson Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nice tie, what kind of hackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownonbow Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Fish that fly it will catch fish and lots of em'. Really a nice easy tie. Everyone should try swinging a wet, they are effective and a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordo Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks guys, the hackle is Hungarian Partridge (the father in law shot me a few this fall and I figured I'd better put them to use before he visits next week). I don't have a lot of experience fishing the wets, but I have a winter to read up, then again I tie better than I cast... maybe I can trade someone flies for some casting pointers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dennis59 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Jordo if your going to do some reading get Dave Hughes book Wet flies. Very good Almost my Bible for soft hackles. Of course Slyvester Nims(spelling) books are great also. Very nice tie. Tight Lines Always Dennis S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydropsyche Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 That looks deadly. Sparce is good. Nice tye. I really like the way you photograph and label your flies. I think its worth the extra effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Instead of ice-fishing this season, trying to tie a few flies. Much more comfy, so far. Gearing up for a little Andros fishing soon for Bones, maybe some Cudas, Sharks, Tarpon and whatever else; Sal****er clousahs; Mini-puffs; "Wingless" Mini-puffs; Various Gotchas; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my synthetic hopper with dropper loop (although after some recent insight from Tungsten in regards to my Chernobyl hybrids; I'm looking at new ways to move the foam away from the gap). I saw this on you tube and it is kind of a similar mono system to what jordo is using. It turns your hopper into an indicator that can be moved up and down your leader to adjust the nymphs depth. Hope this link works: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this link works: Awesome find, I had toyed with some ideas on how to adjust the hopper but nothing ever worked. I'll be trying this method out for sure. Thanks!
