There is something bugging me about these flies. I think you should send a half dozen of each over for me to inspect and test fish.

 

[lv2nymph]

Haha, thank you Dave. Very clever...

I somehow missed this post. I would fish every. single. one. of. these.

Awesome stuff as usual l2n!

 

[Harley]

These look awesome.

Just curious, what did you use for the wing material on the sulphur and the olive?

 

[lv2nymph]

Thank you Jay & Harley. The wing on those is deer hair that is a kinda gray looking light dun shade. I found it while digging through my hair looking for the right shades for the different wing colors. Unfortunately it is not labeled so before I run out I'm going to haul it around to get more. Thanks again guys...

Send me a half dozen of the crane flies to test, I gotta make sure they work before you go out and get skunked.

 

[lv2nymph]

Lol, Thank you Chaz, I'm pleased you like them.

Jack, #27=Super like.

Thank you Brian I'm happy with how that one looks as well. The pack of goose biots I have on the stem they are a beautiful sulfur orange, but once you remove one and wrap it it's much lighter in shade. Much more towards yellow so I touched it with the tip of a marker for a splash of color. The wing is a mixture of light elk hair and just a little bit of orange. These flies look extremely buggy in hand and I'm really enjoying tying them.

Those are great!

I think I need to buy some biots

 

[lv2nymph]

Thank you Mike, definitely give this tie a go.

 

[lv2nymph]

I'm going to hit it and quit it with this Grannom. I hope this thread has prompted some of you to tie and try them.

 

[djs12354]

Looking forward to a chance to talk to you about these, Jack. Impressive

 

[lv2nymph]

Thanks a lot Dave I appreciate that. I'd love to talk tying with ya. Pm sent.

You do nice work.

One of my New Year's resolutions is going to be to give you a heads up when I am going to be in the Penns area so hopefully we can link up and fish. Now that I am retired I can get there a lot and my camp is at Woodward.

 

[lv2nymph]

Thank you very much Gene, yes we will get out and shake some fins together. I look forward to it.
They're ready to go.

 

[SBecker]

Give ya $20 for that.
