Fly tying and patterns sharing thread

my first attempt at spinning deer hair and tying a mouse

 

[steelhead_slayer]

It Works! also caught a 20in rainbow, but it came off when i lifted it for the picture

re mouse: very cool - nothing like instant gratification.
I think it needs a little tail of soft leather, chamois, etc
I have seen ears on them too, but doubt the fish can.

Well, an update on my ice dub prince, on my last trip to a small stream i counted 9 fish on it, 4-5 fish short of outfishing a possie bugger while on the top of a dropper setup in size 12. going to have a pic of that fly up plus a black ice mega prince, trying to get a good picture but the phone doesn't take good ones, will figure something out

Don't get me wrong, I'll throw a big beefy streamer, but there is some trickery down the the 16, 18 and 20 range! You just never know

little olive pheasant tail (pictured on a cigarette)



materials:
abdomen: 5 barbs green pheasant tail
rib: none (color of barbs only)
thorax: 2 peacock hurls twisted
shell back: 6 pheasant barbs pulled forward
legs: shell pheasants pulled back (kind of)
eyesight, patience: essential

that tow-rope is 5X tipp

about as small as I can go, just found the photo on my camera and thought I'd share it here. tied on the bank of the Deschutes in bright sunlight, after coffee, before beer.

nice looking fly, those small pheasant tails were the ticket when we were at the deschtues in october

bugs and help with feathers.

bugs and help with feathers.

some pics of nymphs I use on the rogue and applegate. I really dig the trout retrievers tied on a big jig hook, I dont have any pics of them.

Has anyone ever tied with owl feathers ? I found a barn owl feather and was using it for the back of the thorax, it was pretty amazing what the material does when it is folded over and tied off at the bead. So where can owl feathers be aquired, maybe from a taxidermist or some old mount in a thrift store maybe.

Cheers.

Those look super fishy. I really like the rubber leg nymphs.

Messing around with some Z-Lon and Antron for some bully streamers. They work, well!




A peak at swap flies!

 

[Sirdriftsalot.]

Thanks for the props, rubber legs are awesome especially when they start kicking back and forth in the water. Eggs and Legs.

Iv seen those chartreuse flies before! Nice! Those applegate fish love them. Can't wait for them to show up.

I posted some new flies on the front page of this thread. I will update that post every time I tie flies I think you guys will like.
