ladystrange Posted November 19, 2007 Share 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?

ladystrange Posted November 19, 2007 Share 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.

lethfisher Posted November 19, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethfisher Posted November 19, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted November 19, 2007 Share 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?

Din Posted November 24, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Spun deer-hair frog... Ribbit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lundvike Posted December 3, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
