FlyTrapper Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 My first couple attempts at starting some more traditional style tying. Not that these patterns are all that traditional from what I've read but its a start. Nick 2 Quote
FlyTrapper Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 Happy with my first attempt at this fly, minus the fact I forgot the Jungle Cock. Nick 5 Quote

BigFoamy Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 popper a few small mice a rat call this on the "astro pop" remember those? 6 Quote
murray Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Foamy, those are great looking mice! You must have a very tolerant wife, I bet there is Deer hair all over the place. Mice ties anyhow. Murray 1 Quote
muha Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 What are they for? Good even hair stacking. Do you trim bellies off? Quote
BigFoamy Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 What are they for? Good even hair stacking. Do you trim bellies off? I used them for Bass a few weeks ago, worked awesome. The small ones are really small, size of a nickel ish. Prolly work on the Bow or for pike or whatever. I just like to tie them. Its been awhile since I spun some deer hair and They look awesome on the water as well, killer movement with the tail that brown one I call the rat could def be trimmed down more to look a lot tighter, its the size of a golf ball lol!! 1 Quote
BigFoamy Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 What are they for? Good even hair stacking. Do you trim bellies off? I do trim the belly of the flies. You need a gap between the hook point and the material or the fish wont get hooked Quote
somereddeerguy Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 your deer hair skills are something to be envied. sick ties! Quote
PeteZahut Posted September 23, 2016 Posted September 23, 2016 Those mice work well for bass. Used something similar in Ontario a month ago and the bass loved the mouse pattern Quote
SilverDoctor Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Doc's #8 October caddis. I've tied this one to match to originals I've collected. 2 Quote
Dangus Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 I'm guessing you meant to type #8? Nice tie. I've seen fewer and fewer lately. Seemed liked the peak was end of August/first week of sept or so. Nothing like the numbers I've seen on the Clearwater in idaho. Anyone weigh in on the fluctuation of numbers year to year? Quote
