Flytyer Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 The first challenge will be to tie a fly that must have a hackle but you may not use any material that comes from a bird of any kind. Feel free to use any other material you wish just as long it does not come from a bird.Have fun with this. If you have any questions feel free to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flytyer Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Can I submit more then one fly for the weekly challenge? I've got some ideas that I may try out this week and see how it goes. You can do as many as you want. Yhe idwa of the challenges is to try new things that you may not have tried before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethfisher Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 This was a new one for me! Lots of learning going on haha Tried out a dubbing loop using wire to spin rubber leg hackles and flashabou together. Here's my first attempt at the spin, I added in some hair and it was a disaster! My second attempt worked better and I used the hackle on a bow bugger type pattern. Deer hair collar is a little light and the whole fly is a bit of a mess but I you can't go wrong with to many rubber legs right? haha Tail: Badger with rubber legs and mylar flashing Body: Polar chenille Black Hackle: Rubber legs and flashabou spun in a wire dubbing loop Collar: Deer hair Good learning experience, thanks for setting this up FlyTyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean84 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Here my attempt. Pretty much a take on a royal coachman'ish. Hook size 10 spun deer hair for hackle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
