flyangler Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 This is Big Blue: A Hex and a Spider called "Moondance" and "Dancin in the Moonlight": Ebony Jewel Wing and it's natural enemy: Should I use the "tag" rather than the "link"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreLastCast Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Very nice. How many "Sessions" does each fly take you to tie? Do you have any Stone Flies by chance. I'd love to see them if you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
126barnes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I’ve been practicing my kung fu, I feel a little stronger and can now see a beautiful butterfly. Still not at the same level as you SJW (but few are.......... ).............better get back to training and maybe I'll be able to unlock the secrets of the two remaining scrolls.

flyangler Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 My tofu is mighty;)! How many sessions does each fly take? I just don't think that way. But then, I don't count or measure fish, either. The mayfly wings took quite a few sittings all by themselves. But for each fly it seems like there's a point where I take any instructions I've gotten and any advice anyone's given and have to launch out into unknown space. I have a few stoneflies, but they blow. I've gotten a copy of Whillock's book to torture myself with. I don't use any of the commercial nymph legs or pre printed shell backs that are mentioned there, I bullheadedly re-invent the stuff. I'll cook my food in the microwave, but I have to tie flies the hard way. On the other hand, we use stonefly nymphs for Great Lakes steelhead which are fast, easy and expendable. They also work. Here's the damselfly showing more detail on the legs and feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolman Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think it would make a great story for the Featured Articles. You could tell us how you create these beautifull works of art. Interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenbow Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Those are masterful works of art. You have a great talent ay making these artworks. Thank-you for sharing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyangler Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Thank you! I am humbled by your admiration. And your suggestion, Toolman, I will consider. It would pressure me to say something smart or new. If you wanted photos, it means tying more and that might not be until cabin fever strikes again!

SanJuanWorm Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I would love to see a step by step on the butterfly. I tried this one a couple years back. Took a number of hours to create. Hangs on my wall in a frame and I keep getting offers on it. I'll try another some day. I really like yours though and i'd love to try the technique out some day.
