Guest JBear Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Man i had a productive weekend at the bench. Filled a completely empty nymph box. Sets of 5 for each nymph, GRHE, PT's, Copper jons + Variations, Prince nymphs + Variations, Scuds, Leeches, worms, bwo killers, ice cream cones, Blood worms, rubber legged stones 20 inchers, golden stones, anything im missing ? Needless to say im completely out of gold tungsten beads and size 12-18 hooks. I'll try and throw up a pic sometime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ArtVandelay Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I might be able to fill my little fly patch on a productive weekend of tying. It would probably take me the better part of 2 years to fill an entire box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JBear Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 yeah, i must have started at 11am on saturday, finished around 5pm (we got a 5cm of snow up here in edmonton), for sunday i think i put in about 2 hours. Usually after 5 or 6 flies, my back starts to get really sore around my shoulder blades so i end up stopping, but i took a few advil and went hard. Here's the box, While its not completely full, its pretty damn close. I'm going to try and pick up another pack or 2 of hooks and make a few other sizes in princes, CJ's, hares ears and PT's by the end of this week.

Guest JBear Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah, i realized that i still got some space in there. I'll have another cramming/tying night on thursday/friday. Black CJ's, Red CJ's and more scuds, finished up a batch of boatmen and size 20 backswimmers yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
