Bandi Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Great flies, Mitchell & SilverDoctor! I like the swiss-straw wingcases. Quote
Guest JayVee Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Doc, is that prismatic pliable sheet backing you're using for the shellback? Quote
Mitchell0724 Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I know im not Doc but that shell back is swiss straw Quote
SilverDoctor Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Yep swiss straw, tougher than turkey bun not he nice mottled effect. Doc, is that prismatic pliable sheet backing you're using for the shellback? Quote
TerryH Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Yep swiss straw, tougher than turkey bun not he nice mottled effect. Another good material for the wing case is Wapsi Thin Skin. The colurs I prefer are "mottled oak - golden stone" and "mottle oak - natural" (numbers TSK0121 and TSK0199 respectively.) Very nice ties Mitchell and SD. Terry Quote
EliteFisherman Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 nice work have you tried tieing with massive legs? Quote
Guest Jeremie Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 silver doctor, They definitely work. That is all. Quote
