[FlyBum]

Holey Crap!! when are they due?? The old lady is in town for the weekend and we were out at the John Day all day and I haven't had a chance to crank any out. Went 0 for 1 today, kinda slow, the river was on the slight rise

 

[steelhead_slayer]

All flies should be in by the 20th, but you said you like to work under pressure. shouldnt be that bad though ten day for 12 flies

 

[steelhead_slayer]

My flies are done :yay:

 

[FlyBum]

Ya, I got the dropper flies done, and I'm working on the BIG bugs, will be done soon

 

[FishFiddle]

Done!! Should be in the mail tomorrow. If I wasn't so lazy I would put up a photo, maybe tomorrow.

 

[FlyBum]

So, she went back home to P-town a few hours ago, and was able to finish up. So far 1 big nymph and 2 smaller droppers for all. Think I may tie an extra 4th for all, maybe tomorrow after work.

[brandon4455]

[FishFiddle]

Flashback Nymph on Size 12 Dai-Riki 700B.

 

[brandon4455]

nice ties fishfiddle & flybum :clap:

 

[FishFiddle]

Decided to follow example by FlyBum and I tied up another 12...just a soft hackle to maybe use as a trailer. These are size 16 on a Daiichi 1250.

So you will get 4 flies from me as well. The Flashback will get you down as they have 10 wraps of lead under the thorax and a wire abdomen with the bead head. Fish ON!!!

 

[steelhead_slayer]

thats awesome fishfiddle. Thahks!

 

[brandon4455]

i love soft hackles.. nice tie fishfiddle!! i just came up with a damn good dry fly i should have tied instead, so ill just post the recipie so you guys can tie your own. it is a march brown dry. ill have to find my moms camera and see if it has a macro setting so i can post a picture



Hook: tmc 100 sizes 12-14
thread:brown ultra thread 70 denier
tail: 3 pheasant tail fibers
body: brown goose biot (might need to use two biots)
hackle :grizzly dyed brown
wing: pheasant tail ice dub



what i do is post up the ice dub and trim it, then wrap the hackle behind it and infront of it , so it's more like a wing then a post that you would use for a parachute dry, it looks tasty..should be a damn good spring fly the biot body gives it perfect segmentation... can't wait to try it
