FLYMPH FORUM

above: response=respond.........this new editing system.........
last night at the first Bull Shoals Wolly Buggers (thass what he said he's gonna call the club, lmao), meeting.....i spent most of the time learning two things. A new knot to me......forget what he calls it, but it's very easy (and i'm terrible with knots, hate the things), and perfect for letting a streamer or other fly be able to swing in the current. It's just a knot that ends up putting your fly in a little loop, so it can wiggle. Gotta love it.
And then i learned a way to do weaved bodies, which is also very easy once you "get it." So i've been doing some weaved bodied flies the last couple days. ASAP i'll try and post something with a body done like that. Mine still aren't comming out as good as they will........but, (while quite time consumming), it's an awful lot of fun. So far i've been using mostly vinyle rib materials to do the bodies.....works pretty good. i doubt i'll ever get on a weaved bodies kick, but it'll be fun to show kids at shows and the like.

couple angles of a little pink streamer i did the other night..........

Pink is purty, and the name is cool too.

Lovely fly Mark. That's getting awfully close to a traditional Maine streamer (metal eye and the streamer wing & cheeks).

Valentine's is coming! That's a beauty for sure Mark. I know a few fish that would like that

Thankx guys.....here's a couple pics of another recent streamer.....i used 23 GP Crest in this dressing.

Now that is simply stunning Mark! If I had to describe this fly in one word it would be "Joyous". There is a lot of love in this fly.

That "Halo Streamer" is a real testament to your tying skills, Mark; I have trouble getting just one GP crest to sit where I want it to.

Thankx guys.....much appreciated.....i'm workin' on a fly right now usin' green GP Crest.

GORGEOUS! and VERY creative!!! I really like the way you used the GP. I would never have thought of that...but that's what makes you, you.
