Tied some flies watching the Rockies game last night (1 down, 161 to go!)



Bead-head stretch tubing scud.
Pheasant tail tied a little short.
Brassie that needs slightly heavier wire.
Wingless black wet fly that worked really well on lots of high-country lakes 20 years ago.

And Finally!

A fluorescent bunny leech on acid. It's tied on a size-6 bass hair popper hook.

WOW! Great ties. you need to get involved with the fly tying expo here. Wasatch front. great cause for the Stonefly Society. Always looking for recruits and you got what it takes.

I don't plan on showing you any close-ups of them now because you'd change your mind. [] I threw the bunny leech just on a whim. I was actually going to have the top half of the tail red, but I forgot to tie that bunch of marabou onto the fly.

I need to get a lot more practice and I need to discipline myself to sit down and tie a bunch of the same fly in a couple of different sizes. A need a couple dozen each of pheasant tails, hares ears, griffiths gnats, elk hair caddis, wolly buggers, adams, light and dark cahill, PMD's, brassies, and a bunch of different streamers. I'll expand out from there.

That sounds like the ultimate plan
