Muffin Posted December 5, 2013 Posted December 5, 2013 What would you call those NoSlack? They look great the one on the right with the silver body must look great moving through the water. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Perfect topping, congratulations, hard to do. Use a piece of paper between the vice and hook to avoid scratching the finish of the shank. 1 Quote
ggp Posted December 6, 2013 Author Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks Lornce , these are old hooks I have cut the eye off of, then added thirty pound dacron to simulate the gut, so I won't worry too much about scratching the hooks! I appreciate the comment! Quote
SilverDoctor Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 Wow so many wonderful flies here, keep it up boys. Quote
ggp Posted December 11, 2013 Author Posted December 11, 2013 I've been trying to delete this picture so as to replace it with a (in my opinion) better one of the same fly. I don't seem to be able to remove it, therefor I will just add the newer picture! 1 Quote
SilverDoctor Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 I like the lip you put on the Minnows Noslack, have you tried em to test the action yet? Quote
Muffin Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 The colors on this fly are just amazing. What is the red feather from? 1 Quote
ggp Posted December 14, 2013 Author Posted December 14, 2013 Thanks Muffin, it's dyed Ringneck Pheasant. Quote
jaymack Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Woolly Buggers, a little hard to fill up the body on a size 2 hook with 6" saddle hackle though. Quote
Flyfisher Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Woolly Buggers, a little hard to fill up the body on a size 2 hook with 6" saddle hackle though. For most situations I find wooly buggers, wooly worms and other palmered patterns work best if palmered on the sparser rather than on the heavy side. I wouldn't make the wraps any closer than you have them. I like to use lower quality hackle, the fibers aren't so stiff as good stuff and impart more movement in the water. I'll might go to a heavier palmered fly if fishing in low visibility water as a heavy palmer pushes more water there by attracting more attention. Quote
jaymack Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 This is incredible, do you actually fish flies that look this nice? Quote
