What Are You Tying Today?

[poopdeck]

Sat down tonight an tied a bunch of Blue Bottles (might try to sneak these in as a bonus fly to Kim's current fly swap - they meet the criteria and theme!)

I have to stop viewing this thread. It makes me want to tie more flies. Nice tie!

Snake River Fly pattern called the Bull Whip Worm . Thinking the gills and crappies will like it once the ice comes off .

I’m thinking the canal pickerel will like this as well. It’s on my let’s give it a try list.

Mop tail feather game changer. Hoping smallies will like it!

The moose mane body is a pretty good look! Nice job.

After an unsuccessful trip to Big Spring, and seeing these under rocks but having none

, tied some cress bugs in 14 and 18. Hopefully will work on my next trip.

Two super nice caddis flies. What’s the body material on the bottom one. Is it foam colored with a sharpie?

Still raining, still messing around at the vise. I decided to add wally wings to a Hacklestacker to break the monotony. The thorax ended up a little bigger than I wanted, my order of tying the material in might have been out of sort and perhaps I should have tried on a larger hook first. Maybe I’ll cut this one off the hook and try another, maybe not.

Hook - 16
Thread - Black 12/0 Veevus
Tail - grizzly/brown hackle fibers
Body - Moose mane, one dark one light
Wing - Mallard flank
Post - Black span flex
Hackle - Grizzly
Thorax - black dubbing

I tried dying a snowshoe rabbit foot brown yesterday and it turned out gray. ?? Gray isn’t a bad color in any case so I decided to tie a wet fly with it.

I also plucked one of the Hungarian Partridge feathers from a skin that I hadn’t previously used for a collar on the fly.

I might trail one of those snowshoe wets behind a Parachute Adams to see which fly, if either, the trout prefer.

Love it. I just pulled some hare's feet out today and saw this. Must be a sign.

Wanted to go with a classic for my 1000th post.

I may lurk around elsewhere, but this is the only forum / social media where I actively participate. Ironic that I barely get the chance to fish PA anymore.

Thanks to all of you for everything I've learned over the years.
