Comments On The Mascot Fly Thread

[Flytyer]

I thought I'd start this thread in which comments on the mascot fly thread can be posted. So please post your comments here.

Not long till someone says Hook #4 , Body - Red wire..... done........... beyyyaaaaaaahhhh

[toolman]

That's funny...

A suggestion... each participant could send a pm to the person they pass it on too. It might help to keep the flow moving along, as some folks may not check in on the tying threads everyday.

yayyy. a place to put my fly spam. eww, that doesnt sound very tasty does it.

 

 

Pattern #2 scares me

 

Hook: Mustad 94840 #14

Thread: Light Olive

Tail: Pale green antron

Middle section of body: Fluorescent Pink Floss (middle 1/3)

Body: light olive ice dubbing. Dubbed lightly over hotspot

Mid-wing: bleached deer hair wing tied over mid point

Hackle (rear): under sized light blue dun tied in at tail and palmered over body to the mid-wing

Front hackles: one each grizzly and cinnamon

Front Wing: White and Dun CDC tied caddis style over hackle

 

i'm still trying to picture the wings crossed with the hackle. i need a better imagination for this one. how strange

That's has been done and was sometimes ignored.....I think this way it guarantees a decent flow

It seems like alot of material for size 14 and a middle wing to boot of deer hair......this fly should a playing offensive or defensive lineman in football

[ladystrange]

2 strands of deer hair per wing should give more space. lol

 

no cinnimon hackle. i have ginger or furnace hackle. is that close enough?

 

what i dont have is the antron i might have light green poly kicking around though

 

 

btw, if anyone cares. i'm away come saturday morning until sunday night with no computer access.

[Flytyer]

Brownstone : you forgot to pass on to the next person; if you could do so much appreciated

[Inconnu]

Perhaps a good name for that fly "The Defensive Linebacker?"

I will keep the hounds tied up then LS, wouldn't want them retrieving you prematurely!

[Flytyer]

Brent : would please add the next component to the fly?

[Flytyer]

Writer 1 you can add the next component.......Brent missed it but found it and added sorry Writer

[Guest bigbadbrent]

ohh sorry flytyer, definitly didnt see it, i'll throw my piece on

[Flytyer]

[Flytyer]

Brent please pass on to someone

[Guest bigbadbrent]

[Flytyer]

[Guest bigbadbrent]

[Din]

pass on to Din

 

passed onto Bhurt. PM sent.

[Din]

sorry flytyer...i know i kinda messed the order of the tying steps up...was just about to pick someone other than bhurt but you beat me to it!

[Flytyer]

No problem Din I just happened to notice it and being that there seems to be a number of new tyers looking in I thought it was the right thing to do.

[Guest bigbadbrent]

Just as much my fault (if not more)..i have no clue the order to tie a steely fly haha

One of several reasons why I started this .......to get some to try something different......never know you might find something useable on you standard tying to make it more effective

[reevesr1]

Hey all,

I know this is going to sound lame, but I don't have the foggiest idea what the next step of a tie is, what my options are, and what a steelie fly even looks like.

 

I don't mind participating, in fact it would be fun, but where can I do a bit of quick research as to what my options are?

Rick I see you found something to add....you did just fine

Thanks, but it may be fatter than what I had in my head. Actually, there is a saltwater trout lure that has similar colors and if any of these actually get tied, I'll bring a couple down this summer and give 'em a roll!
