Fishing Forum

Got James posting on here more and that is awesome, not to mention some KILLER ties.

I do allot of fly swaps in the cold. Got like 5 going right now but here is a few of my offerings:

Wet Fly:



STILLWATER fly:



Steelhead fly:



You can tell it has been cold cause getting me to sit down and tie is like pulling teeth, but once there, I can't stop!

the steel head fly you posted..... i use something very close to nail 99% of my browns on the weber above echo only with the gray body mine has a brown or green hackle... 22/20 or 18 only

I thought you were using a pupa or an emerger?
I don't know about tying one of these in 20's. the deer hair is almost the thickness of the hook shank length.....LOL
Maybe a fuzzy floss body and the hackle could work.

barrs emerger on top, my little secret on the bottom.... what i use on bottom isent tied with deer hair, i had to ask someone to tie it for me after some playing around... but like i said its damn close

Cool, Now I have to try tying it in a 20.....[mad]

Hey, if you can tie that steelhead fly in a size 20 then the next challenge is a size 24 hopper..... or not. Merry Christmas

Okay, here is a #20. I do need to figure out a different HAIR alternative instead of deer. It is a little course.





Next...a #24 Hopper?![crazy][laugh]

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all
