The week of the flies
I set out with a mission to tie a new fly every day this week, I didn't make it last night, but the rest of the days were a success.
Grass Shrimp - craft fur and palmered strung rooster hackle
The recipe called it a green grass shrimp, but I named it Captain Cave Man - craft fur, estaz and craft fur dubbed and palmered over the estaz.
My version of a DC wiggler - grizzly cock saddle patch (some 7" strung woolly bugger hackle is the best, didn't have any), chenille and palmered grizzly cock
VIP popper - crystal flash, deer hair and foam from craft store.
I tied these Sunday - crab spoons
I love this stuff

Negative, QB - if I can get my tired, fat fingers to work around thread, materials, & sharp hooks anybody can! Of course, I haven't tied anything yet since that darned ole Chalk dragged me out of retirement...I'm still trying to find all the stuff I hid on myself five years ago. If you decide to get into to this business of fly fishing (by the way, if you can learn how to toss a Zebco, you can cast a flyrod) I will find you an instructor or teach you myself!!!QueenB wrote:Great looking flies you made! Almost makes me want to try my hand at fly fishing but I am just learning to use the ZEBCO.....I might be too blond for fly fishing...hmmmmmmm
