I've been tying too

[flygoddess]

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!

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.

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
