ladystrange Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 you got me all excited for a second. for terrestrials, are we looking for realistic or just something that could be considered an ant/caterpiller/spider kind of pattern? Quote
bulltrout Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 you got me all excited for a second. for terrestrials, are we looking for realistic or just something that could be considered an ant/caterpiller/spider kind of pattern? generally used patterns or realistic...it's all up to your creative genius...

ladystrange Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 if you left it up to my creative genius, the ant would be blue and pink with marabou legs and floss rumps and krystal flash antenae. i'll stick to a pattern for this one. Quote
lethfisher Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Sorry I missed last contest. I am stoked to do this one though. Mmmmmm club sandwiches Quote

lethfisher Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 This is only a half order. I am on a diet It is only half order because it is on a size 14 and most patterns I saw call for 6 or 8. Half Order Club Sandwich Hook: Size 14 Thread: Orange Legs: Round Orange Body: Foam Indicator: More Foam Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 nice fly leth, give it a shot tying it with some mono, it looks reallllly realllly cool Quote
lethfisher Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 nice fly leth, give it a shot tying it with some mono, it looks reallllly realllly cool Mono for the legs? Would the fish be able to see it? I guess as long as the body isn't clear as well haha Quote
dryfly Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 This complex tie is not to be confused with the over-promoted, and much over-used, San Juan Worm aka BAW. The SJW or BAW imitates an aquatic worm organism. However, this is a TRUE terrestrial food form for trout. The DEW, or the Drowning Earth Worm, or just dew worm. Yes, the DEW worm, as it is affectionately known to millions of anglers worldwide, is now catching on with fly anglers all over. However, this complex pattern is not for novice tyers and should only be attempted after years and years of tying practice. I'd list the materials and tying procedures here, but it is far too long. So if you are interested I can mail the 20-page tying instructions to you. This serious (but complex) terrestrial pattern should be tried by all. What do I win Andrew? Quote
Guest bigbadbrent Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Mono for the legs? Would the fish be able to see it? I guess as long as the body isn't clear as well haha Use the mono for the tying thread Quote
fishfreak Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Wow Dryfly, that is one versatile pattern... it imitates everything!!! Quote

SteveM Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 NAKED CHICKS!!! now that i got your attention, the next contest on the sched is TERRESTRIALS...entries in by Sunday, November 25 at 9:00PM... Thanks for posting the pic of your top-secret bulltrout bait. Quote
Din Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 Same thing as Lethfisher...but oh well. 1st time tying these things, and using foam (even terrestrials for that matter), so thanks for the contest! Quote
Lundvike Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Dug this up from an old forum post Alright so I completely forgot to post the recipe. Hook #10 Eagle Claw 94845 Tread Yellow 6/0 Uni Body Yellow orange and tan foam sheet from walmart shaped with scissors finished with sand paper. Wing Deer Hair Head Spun Deer Hair Legs Yellow rubber Legs colored with a black sharpie Really a very simple tie. Might want to try the orange foam as the bottom layer to fool some fish into thinking its a stone. Quote
