maxwell Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 ive had a couple pms in regards too this today and as i see it alot of te big trudes, stimulator, chernobyl, dave.whitlock hopper, foam bugs or something big and bushy oldschool style that would double for either of the two bugs i listed (grasshoppers n stoneflies) so any big bushy fly is good unless you wish too get specific/realistic with either of te two bugs!

jordo Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I had a tough time deciding on what to submit this month (as I tie a lot of Stimmy, Hopper, Chernobyl type patterns). In the end I settled on my Hopper with Dropper Loop. Hook: Tiemco 200R or similar, size 8 Thread: Tan 6/0 Body: 3 sheets of foam glued together (various colors) Hind Legs: T.N.T. Hopper Legs, Tan Front Legs: Barred Tan/Brown Medium Rubber Legs Wing: Mottled Brown SuperWing Material Dropper Loop (Optional): 20 lb mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigtoad Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I was playing around this morning. Tried out using my own foam legs for the first time. Probably not that practical of a tie as the first fish will likely destroy the legs but man, it looks buggy! Because the whole thing is made of foam I think I'll call it, "Go Foam or Go Home." Hook: Mustad #6 wet nymph hook Thread: Yellow 6/0 Body: Tan foam Wing: Mottled Etha-wing legs: Tan foam Coloured with various Sharpies.

Bigtoad Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, so I don't know if you can submit 2 or not in a month.... if you can only submit one, I'd like to keep this one and take off my other. Thanks. This one is a variation of a lot of flies put together... a little something here, a little something there. This one is a salmonfly imitation but I also tied a really nice one as a golden stone; just change the chenille and foam colors as well as the size. Let's call this one: Foamer's Oddicy Hook: Tiemco 9395 size 4 streamer hook (with the amount of foam in this one, I can't see a submarine sinking it) Thread: dark brown 6/0 Body: orange and dark brown chenille, brown or black sheet foam, abdomen wrapped in amber vinyl rib Egg sack: orange sheet foam wing: crystal flash and elk hair head:same piece of brown/black sheet foam and then orange sheet foam legs: brown rubber legs hackle: brown saddle hackle I can NOT wait to try this one out on Prairie!!!!

I must say the same holds true to the fish in and around Calgary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
