>>>What Are You Tying Today? Part III

[nomad_archer]

Those c-clips shouldn't go flying as they aren't under tension. They are still easy to lose if you don't take care removing them but they wont go flying.

Did you catch the vise that was on sale in the swap forum right at the new year?

 

[Jimbot]

Nah...

Got it off Ebay 2 or three years ago from Fly_Shop. Just ordered the midge jaws two seconds ago. 37$ free shipping and handling. I guess thats ok.

Thanks Nate

I guess I'm gonna figure it out.

Nice popper man. If thats your first...that is amazing. That is a beautiful fly!

I like it. I was wondering because I was second in line on the one here. I waited a few months and couldn't find one at anything other than MSRP so I used some gift cards at bass pro to help with the purchase.

Nomad,

Check your messages I PM'ed you.

Size 18 and 20 Sexy Walts Worm and White Slumpbusters have been in my vise lately.

Done really well on these over the last couple years.

Chartreuse has been a staple on streamers lately.

I think it was Lefty Kreh who famously said, "if it aint' chartreuse, it ain't no use!"

Good stuff.

I see patterns posted all the time, but that's what I call thinking outside the box^. Really cool fly.

That's exactly the vid I used to learn. I saw Rob Snowhite tie a few of these at summerset. Going to go say hi to him in Lancaster this morning!

Here are a couple for yesterday.

1. rubber band grub/meal worm tyger showed me at the Jam.
2. Another mohair leech in tan
3. turkey biot body nymphs. First time tying with turkey biots but they look like the will work.

Off to the Lancaster show in a bit.

Thanks for the compliment. My slump busters started off pretty ugly but they still caught fish. Keep practicing they will get better. I did find using pine squirrel was easier then rabbit strips. The rabbit had more under fur and made it more difficult to wrap the wire without trapping hair.
