Crogg Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Hi , My name is Jonathan and I'm a tie a holic . I don't really know what I'm doing sitting at my vice . Yet after I first caught on to this lifestyle first introduced to me as a young lad , by Dad . It took years for it to , but it did . I love it , I am constantly imagining things and ideas in my mind of creating Fish Catching meals out of threads and materials......I can't stop . I am searching for a pattern of a somewhat ice weavil with a beadhead or something , this mylar is Great!! I hope that the fish like it as much as I do.. Anyone out here who may have an idea to share or add , would be greatly appreciated !! Yes , after 10 yrs on the Bow , and a hiatus sponsored by Syncrude and Suncor I am back , and my little SJW's that I have been learning to wrap hooks with , and the fish ...1 WF , 1 Rainbow , and my first two Brown's ever and a couple of....LDR's The hook is set !! I have learned tons from Youtube, and other sites on the internet. As for what to tie: Woolybuggers, clousers, caddis larvae, pupa, and dries big stonefly nymphs and dries small mayfly nymphs, dries CopperJonny's for sure... That should keep you busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toirtis Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 We should get together some rainy day or evening for a tying party. Been tying myself for almost 30 years, on and off, and I love to see what other people are doing...especially experimentation. That is mind, I would love to see some shots of what you are tying on here, particularly if they have a fished review to go with them. It would also be great for we tyers to have a network to trade/share/etc supplies (like the year I found myself with a whole deer hide and no-one to share with).

CopperJonny Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 So I have just found a couple of little ziplock bags that I forgot about . Last waterfowl season was good to me , and I jumped on the opportunity to save some goose feathers , with the idea that I may be able to substitute cul de cunard , etc . With them . I kept some white rump feathers , and some grey ones too + 1/2 & 1/2 . ( Canada Geese ) My thoughts were/are that they will perform as well , for use on dry flies . Being geese , they float very well . Would anyone here , know if i have the right feathers to do such a thing . And would the white spook the fish . Any input will be greatly appreciated . I have been searching online , but most of what is mentioned seems to be of Biots , and dying goose feathers ( wing) and they state not to do so as there are "Barbels etc" within the feather and some properties of said feather will be destroyed among others.....I am going to give it a whirl , but I'm hoping that possibly there may be more procedures and ideas that I haven't thought of . May your reels scream..........J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
