admin Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Those ones with the silver rib look uber cool Tako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inconnu Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks Tako! Are the patterns with the rib epoxied as well, or is that liquid lace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tako Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 Stuff is called larva lace. It's just red plastic tubing that's fairly stretchy. None of em are epoxied. Just stretch it on and tie it off. The last three have a silver rib wound into the rib created by the larva lace, basically just to accentuate the rib.

grannyknot Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Those larva-lace ones look deadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That Larva Lace makes up some very nice looking flies. Taco did you fill the Larva Lace with oil or not bother. The reason I ask is that I have some Larva Lace and wonder if it would make that much of a difference if it had the oil in it or not.

I haven't had any need to get fancy. The fish pound them little guys like its their last meal sooo I figure if it ain't broke don't fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm not sure how the Larva Lace looks with oil injected into it, but the Liquid lace sure makes an incredible difference. I have a few of the liquid lace flies Randy Deifert tied up in Calgary and the difference is pretty much night and day between the two.

Hawgstoppah Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Nice looking flies mate. I use a similar pattern for most of my lake fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbadbrent Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 What's the diff between larva and liquid lace? larva lace wasn't made to be filled with baby oil, liquid lace is supposed to be filled (though u can use it as larva lace as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Liquid lace is more flexible and easier to work with IMO. Take a look at the fly gallery from Unique Flyfishing. Look at the chironomids on the page. http://www.uniqueflyfishing.com/index.php?page=flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tako Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 you're using your slit foam wrong.. Haaahahaha I was wondering if some smartazz was gonna call me on that. The slits don't hold the #14's very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhurt Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Here's one of my latest to try this spring. Weedy I love it. Only problem I do have with it is that your's is pink and the photo is dark red. Use something dark and it will rox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weedy1 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Weedy I love it. Only problem I do have with it is that your's is pink and the photo is dark red. Use something dark and it will rox! It really is red. It's actually the camera I was using, for some reason all reds are showing up pinkish. I'm using the same setup I always have, fluorescent light intended for digital photos, same white balance, etc. I think the sensor may have a problem. I tried adjusting it in photoshop elements but no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
