agbff Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Yeah three cones if im not mistaken, kinda replaces the need for dubbing balls to hold materials up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headscan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 This kind of how it looks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just add some lead barbell eyes and you have a fluffy concussion in the works. Nice idea with the cones. I would maybe try putting the cones on in reverse so you really get your materials to stand away from the tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 420FLYFISHIN Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Head Scan - it looks like that the pic off the site i got the pattern off of.

headscan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Those Eumer monster cones look pretty cool. Check out this fly that was tied with one: http://speypages.com/speyclave/showthread.php?t=38516 I wanted to pick some up at the show, but I only had a few bucks left on me and didn't want to pay the atm fee (I must be a cheap fly tier). Luckily it looks like Fish Tales is going to be bringing some in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 That is one sexy looking overhead shot of that fly. I picked up some of those heads, but have yet to try it. One of the guys there tying (Mike) tied me up a nice little fly using them. I just need to find some of that Finn dogg they were tying with.

headscan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Darren, do you mean temple dog or is finn dog a temple dog replacement? From what I've been able to figure out temple dog is a step above arctic fox but below polar bear. Haven't seen it in person yet, so I don't know what the movement on it is like.

They have been using the islandic sheep hair as a replacement for the temple dog.The 2 are very close.Sheep is longer than the dog.But movement is very close.Little stiffer than using fox tail.

Finn Dog or Finn Racoon is not templedog. I think that templedog is actually domestic Dog, or originally was. Lots of guys won't use it out of priniple. The Finn Racoon is really close to templedog. It is close to Fox, but nothing close to Polar bear. If you can find it, seal on a pelt is pretty close to polar bear. The icelandic sheep is good, but I find it to be too long for most things I tie and end up scraping lots of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
