Re: My first attempt at married wings
Thank you all for the encouraging words. It took me a while to marry the wings due to my sausage like digits so I tried different ways to do it and haven't found which way I like best yet. Winged wet flies have always intimidated me, and now that I can do it (most of the time), I never thought I cou...

My first attempt at married wings
I wanted to expand my horizons and try to marry wings. This is my first attempt at it and I have to say I'm very happy with myself. But there's always room for improvement and I'm very open for any advice. I really like my Queen's Guard fly, but it looks too much like another fly that already exists...

Re: New
Wayne, that was a great post. It has made me think about trying something new. I smiled when you mentioned that you now fish these flies upstream or up and across. I have found when fishing these types of flies upstream the hackle pulses giving it an alive appearance. When swinging them the hackle c...

Pheasant wings
Last night my neighbor brought over a pair of pheasant wings wondering if I could use them. I thanked him for them and they are attractive and even have some very beautiful small hackled feathers. My question is, I have never heard or seen anyone use pheasant wings. Is there a good reason for that? ...

Re: Sassy Cat
First thing to come to mind was "Sunburst". Or solar flare.

Re: Another Iron Blue
Is it possible to fall in love with a fly? If it is, then I am.SenecaLaker wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 9:12 am Here's my take on this bug.
Burgundy thread
Grey Mole Body spun in a dubbing loop
Medium Blue Dun Hackle collar
Size 12 1X Wet Fly Hook
This fly is . . . I have no words for it.
The burgundy thread really is an eye catcher.

Re: My iron blue nymph
I'd be extremely happy if I tied those flies.

Awesome job.
