reset Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Some of you folks tie alot of flies. Way to many to comment on them all. But wow this dragon fly got me. I can imagine a selection of blue,yellow and the green ones. Just awesome looking fly. Always personally liked Dragon Flies even when i was a kid. Grew up in Dragon Fly country. Used to catch them in a liitle net then let them go after studying them some with magnifying glass. Just a Beautiful tie Mr. SilverDoctor. 3 hours ago, SilverDoctor said: Just playing around with a Dragon fly. 1 Quote
BowLurker Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 'Pregnant' hot-spot scud. The reason I'm posting another scud is that this one popped out of my vise yesterday, and I searched for at least an hour! Found it wedged between my sling pack and a box, some 2m away!! Knapek Comp Scud hook, size 14. 2 Quote

I found that using some extra tension on the mono helps to sink it into the floss. Cheers! -M. Quote
brunsie1 Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Thanks I saw a picture of a stomach pump sample that had chironomids that color and couldn't match it. Tried damn near everything but never thought of floss. Quote

Tried damn near everything but never thought of floss. No problem. One thing I did was colour the floss on the top with a yellow Sharpie, just to darken the yellow a bit. It ended up soaking through most of it. You can see the original floss peeking out right near the base of the tail. Good luck! -M. Quote
SilverDoctor Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 This one is called a For and Aft.Good little Cuttie fly, although I've caught a few Browns with it also as a searching pattern.. 1 Quote
BowLurker Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Gorgeous fly, SilverDoctor. C'mon, give us a Royal Wulff! I tied the 'extended-abdomen' wobbly stone again, with a new type of olive chenille. It's on a Size 8 Knapek Comp jig hook. Not a lot of real-estate, but a surefire hookset! -M. 1 Quote
SilverDoctor Posted June 15, 2020 Posted June 15, 2020 Hay BowLurker, you mean one of these. This is one done in the classical tie. Still a great searching pattern for Trout. 1 1 Quote

BowLurker Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Double-wire Copper John, Sz 16. Little bit of flashback and some UV resin as well. This was a handfull !! 2 Quote
BowLurker Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 German Brown Spider, Sz 14. Not sure why it's called a German Brown, but here we are. Might try a different hook, as the gap seems a bit excessive. 2 Quote
BowLurker Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 Freestyle 'October Caddis' with olive deer hair and a few different orange dubbings. 2 Quote
BigFoamy69 Posted September 19, 2020 Posted September 19, 2020 Man, I haven’t tied a fly in along time. Finally bought some glasses & can see. Not a known pattern, just sat down and threw this together. 2 Quote
