Couple of flies from last week
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 11:39 am
I had a few minutes last week to get away from the "Football Thing" and test a some thoughts I had during the week. It seems that there are some possibilities to spice it up.
I had a shoelace from one of the boys in my hand during practice and it wound up getting spun tight, Tried to think of some materials I had around that might be able to be used to create a ribbed abdomen and this is the result.
Abdomen..Cream Congo Hair
Thorax... Natural Dark Beaver (Thanks to Josh for giving me a chunk of his pelt used for bow string silencers)
Collar.. Brown Hen Saddle
Tread.... Danville Tan 8/0
Hook... I think one of J. Stockard house #16
Hope to fish these soon during one of my "Up North" Bird Hunting trips in the next few weeks.
