What did you tie today?
Again, like my post said a little while back, I'm still a beginner at this. But, seeing as though it's cold out, I thought there might be some tying going on.
I learned a new fly. Really simple. It will probably be better with a heavier wire but this is what I have on hand so I used it. Size 14 nymph, 0.2mm wire, black thread, Peacock herl, tungsten bead. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b165519f9c.jpg |
Tied some Pale Morning Dunns in #16and some BWO's in #20's

Lornce, those are pretty tiny. The smallest I've tried so far is a 16. I didnt think my eyesight was all that bad until I tried them, lol.
I did a few more this morning. A few more of the brassiere with a tail just to have a half dozen with and without. The red ones just to try something different and easy. And even at that, I snapped the thread right when I was about to tie off. Thats why there's two visible silver ribs on the one and three on the other. The sparkle scud, I did a few with a brass colored tungsten bead, but I have tied enough flies this week alone (I only got those beads last weekend) that I ran out already. So I tied these 5 with the copper colored tungsten. It matches the copper rib, maybe it'll work better in some areas, maybe not.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5d30b8874e.jpg |
I fish a lot of #20s especially during the wonderful midsummer and fall Trico hatches. Lots of really big trout love em.

More like a 2 day arts and craft project than tying but the Jennings ultimate boatman is aptly titled for those amazing fall boatman flight days

Lornce, those #20 BWOs are beautiful. I can almost see them floating in the surface film on a black smooth run on a cool, overcast day. Thanks for sharing your pics -- really nice work!
|
Thank you Lornce

Chronnies, trying to blend thread colors, a little harder than I thought. Starting to look good, just need to do a few dozen to get it down.

Thanks, guys that's very kind.
Doing up some small minnow fly imitations that work quite nicely in the spring. https://i.imgur.com/TIIg9aT.jpg |
