Tied some flies

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

I have tied 6 of my very first flies over the last couple of days. This is my first time trying this so they are a little rough around the edges. I bought a kit and have been practicing since Friday. I made the popper this afternoon. I can't wait to get out there and try and catch some fish on my flies.

did you remember to turn the fan off this time when you opened the bag of feathers!!! *****

[BottomOfTheBoot]

lame...what's the point of fishing for flies? Isn't that what a Bug Zapper is for?


just kidding Lucus, them thangs look good.

[huntin fool]

Been wanting to tie flies....Need a shrimp one, that is a floater style, just yet to tie em

Yeah Jamie wasn't going to let me tar and feather the house again.

Looks Good, that must take some patience!

For me it did take patience, for the Legendary Lefty Kreh it takes about 1.5 minutes to tie them. The small spider looking one and the popper are my designs.

Yeah the crab pattern is the next one I am going to attempt. The crab is the whole reason I started tying.

looks like a good hobby......nice job

Went and picked up the goods to make the merkin crab. Got home and tied this little bad boy. I am going to get better but I am really proud of how nice it turned out considering all the steps there is to making it.

Looks good man. Happy to see another fly fisherman in here. The purple clouser looks sweet.

the instructions called that one a bend back. it is supposed to be weedless.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

Second crab pattern of the night. This one looks way better in my opinion.

[SULPHITE]

merkin fly:*****::*****: ***** lucas do you wear a merkin??

[Sea-Trac Offshore]

One fly I really like that holds up well is the epoxy shrimp. Trout and reds love it and caught plenty bass and peacock bass in Miami on it as well

I have to look that one up.

merkin fly:*****::*****: ***** lucas do you wear a merkin??

It is a touchy subject but yes I do wear a merkin. I am sensitive about that area, it's an itchy subject if you know what I mean.

Here is a shrimp fly I tied earlier tonight.

I need to find the time to start tying. I need to send my Axiom to tfo to get repaired. Last trip out in the surface drive we were pond hopping and the kid with me lifted the rod and it caught a branch and the branch won instantly!

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

Man I can tell you I am utterly addicted. It is so tedious that it is fun. I am just nervous I am not going to get the chance to try them out for very long before the oil hits the fan. I am going to start tying some more bass flies so I can hit the Henderson Area as well as the Lake V area.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

new and improved shrimp with some Lucas twists. Added a tail and horn (per fishinpox's request) and legs and antenna. This one is much better in my opinion but i am biased.

[Wag]

Looking good!

[FF_T_Warren]

im liking that shrimp

[eman]

If you want to have a blast, take a couple of those shrimp and find you some lights to fish under. The trout will tear it up .

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

Thanks guys

[Montauk17]

very nice

[Woodduck Commander]

That looks awsome man... Definently a hobby to look into

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

Went this morning to the local pond to try out my new flies. Caught a few bass and this slab sac-a-lait on my popper. I also caught some bream on this bee fly I tied last night.

[FF_T_Warren]

awesome, is it hard to make those flies? like that second shrimp, was that hard. looks like a perfect little shrimp larvae

If you have patience and a steady hand they don't seem to be too hard. The shrimp is definitely the hardest one I have tied so far. The biggest problem is getting all the parts together without messing them up as you go. You are working in an inch and a half of room so things can get tight. I have only been doing this a week so if that tells you how hard it is then so be it. I am addicted so I have been spending an hour or so every evening tying as many as I can.

[huntin fool]

Tied a few today, addicting!

Obviously,first day, they aren't spectacular.


Really like my glass minnow pattern.

1st column-Glass minnow

I saw that the RSFF group is hosting an intermidiate and a begginers fly tying class this coming week at the orvis shop in B.R.
The paper said that vise and tools are required and materials will be provided.

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]

Here are a few more patterns I did last night and a few this afternoon. I really like the way the crawfish came out.

[Montauk17]

[Montauk17]

[Mediumheavyaction6'6]
