Din Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Trying to get my attractors done and playing with some emergers right now... Lafontaine's double wings & variations... Lafontaine's Mohawk... Emerger...
Tungsten Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Them are some cool ties Mitch thanks for sharing.
headscan Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 Nice flies Mitch. Something about that second one I really like. I've been tying a lot of big bright streamers for 'nooks lately including string leeches. Decided to try making a MOAL/string leech for trout...

admin Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 bhurt said: Could you post a couple of photo's of these. Kind of intrested in seeing how you went about things. Wanna learn how to tie some classic wet's but I don't tie what I don't fish...... Black Ghost 5 ways 1. Standard long shank 2. Tandem rear riding up (Spider Wire) 3. Tube w/ octopus hook 4. Tandem traditional (Extreme Tippet RIO) 5. Waddinton shank w/ double up (Wire tippet) That is basically the range I'll tie these in. Each has their good and bad points, but the one I like to fish best is the Waddington. The wire tippet is a bit stiff, but the Spiderwire or Fire line is nice. These have taken some nice trout in Alberta lakes and I know SJW has fished with them a bunch on the Bow, so they will work.
nebc Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 headscan said: Yeah, that way is much easier. Thanks! Check the archives in Phil Rowley's new web site and you should be able to find his MOAL leech step by step. It is a good one, well done.
flyfishing Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Hey guys, i started tying a couple months ago so i'll share a few of my flys. I've mostly been tying some clousers, midge larvae and caddis larvae/pupae:
Simpson Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Good stuff dude, Keep at it! Have you landed a fish on your own tie yet? Wicked satisfaction
flyfishing Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Thanks, no I've only fished once with them for a couple of hours on the bow back in November, but i'm going again this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to catch a few with my own!

chiasson Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 THe Rusty Rat looks awesome. What's the collar made with?
chiasson Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Sat down to tye some dries and nearly pulled my hair out, so I made this.
Tungsten Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Quote Sat down to tye some dries and nearly pulled my hair out, LOL!! I here ya.Sometimes i think its just easier to go buy them.

Lately I found myself more and more swinging flies for trout and grayling with the doublehander. To my surprise they tend to have a liking for sized down salmon flies. This winter I will be tying some tubeflies and try those. Awesome looking fly! May I ask what size salmon hooks work well with trout?
proflytyer Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 have been tying up some leechs and clousers.
bhurt Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Kyle, really like your ties, keep it up they look great. Once I find my battery charger for my camera and charge up my battery I will take some photo's of the flies I have tied over the last two months (and there are alot of them) and post them for people to see. Nothing special with my ties these are just flies that I use all the time on the bow.
