Re: Deleatidium Flymph
Bill, that is subtle and beautiful for so many reasons. The double stripped hackle technique is a new one to me. Not something I'd have considered on a soft hackle/flymph due to the complexity of getting the job done. I'm presently struggling with 2 hackles on a #8 rabbit lure! Great skills Bill. I...

Re: Early Spring Spider
That is the business Bill.
Very nice.
How did you tie the hackle in, reverse, tip first or tip last?

Re: Hare's Lug & Plover Drake
Very nice looking fly.
Am sure it looks just as nice from the front. The plover is a beautifully marked hackle.
We don't have green drakes as far as I know but it'd do well here in NZ.

Re: GRHE Dark Version
It's a beauty Doug, right down to the Shanerized materials used.

Re: Your favorite hook
Hi Barry, from a non-traditional view, I'm liking the Kamasan B170.
It is a lighter wire than some hooks but strong and reliable.
I like the length of the shank for tying wingless wets.

Re: Holiday staples
Got to use them today William.
All but one fish took these wingless wets. Thank goodness!
Am sure you could whip up rows of these in different sizes AND use separately spun bodies.
I would like to see those.

Re: Holiday staples
Hi Doug, Thanks for your comments and encouragement. Right now I'm enjoying a fuller look to these flies. Fish sure do take the thin, slim models but I'm liking the look of these more. I've been using GSP thread for a while and found it surprisingly pleasant to dub with. It is extremely smooth and s...

Re: Holiday staples
Unless there's a rise Ray, I fish them behind a beadhead nymph.
If a fish takes the beadhead, I get quite offended!

We're away 2 January for two trips. First a back country, wilderness type location then onto Turangi to fish the Tongariro. Not sure where but am bound to use these flies. http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u644/Aoteapsyche/P1030367_zpsinxrbhuj.jpg Hook. Kamasan B170 #14 Thread. Veevus GSP 50 white...

Re: BWO Soft Hackle
Nicely done Bill.
Making peacock herl look like plastic tubing in your photo, gives a good size comparison.
A good reason as well to leave tying tiny ones to you!
