Nice looking ties up there Bob

 

[sandfly]

you to jack like that one as well, seems I seen it some where else---lol

 

[dc410]

Sandfly - those stoneflies look great.

Nice looking nymph there, Jack. Is your dubbing and cdc tied in by splitting the thread or in a loop?

 

[lv2nymph]

Thanks Bob, wonder where?
John, thanks. I Split the thread, really I think the main difference is you get less bulk at the eye when you tie off, that and you don't have to mess around with any tools or a loop with it.

Some small stuff this morning.

 

[GenCon]

McSneek, yep they be small. Too small for my eyes. Nicely done though.

I don't know if I appreciate it in the same way that you do, but I check this thread every time I see there's a new post. It's great to see what everyone else is tying on a regular basis. Good work, sandfly!

Ha ha Jeremy...well truth be told I hadn't thought about it from that angle...I appreciate it from the same standpoint you do. What I can learn from it. I just was blown away by the number of views.

Though, there is some intrinsic value I may apply to my tying, most of my enjoyment comes from my daydreaming about having the skill and patience to tie such beautiful flies.

Bergmans March Brown male. This may be the best I can get it. Needs one more coat of laquer and good to go. This is for a contest.
Critiques welcome.

Not qualified to critique for a contest, but send a half-dozen or so over and I'll field test for you...... ;-) 😎

PS: It does look good to me.

Looks great! Nice proportions. Wing is set nicely. Hackle length looks really good. Tough for me to see anything to improve upon.

This is Don Bastian's, I'm sure you've looked at Gencon but he is the standard IMO.

Yours is gorgeous, I have nothing to critique.
