A few chronomid patterns from today

[troutbug]

Stocking the box for next year as I never got out much this year. Here a few patterns I had to tie up as I was running low on them

Really nice ties, do you use a uv resin to finish them off? They look great

These are just coated with my ROCK HARD from the "flybox" company
it drys fast and tack free and is rock hard hence the name

I do have the exact same kind in UV to

I've heard of that stuff, good to know it works and looks good . Thanks

Beautiful ties.

Maybe we should have a chrinomid fly swap this winter.

Now tie them pretty little patterns 2 to a hook. Yup two cronies on one hook. use mustad 9672 or 200R size 10 and 8 hooks or equivalent hooks. Try it and you will want to give me a big hug when you see how well they work.
MMMMM can you see yourself hugging a 6 ft. 200 lb. 72 year old guy? Even I can't see myself hugging a 6ft. 200lb. 72 year old guy. O well!!!

Great taper on your flies. What is your favorite technique to present them?

Great job on the Bugs...Curious if the "Rock Hard" gets cloudy at all or if it stays that clear for you?

It has yet to cloud on me.....i had 2 bottles of it sit in storage through winter and summer and when I used it it was like new....amazing stuff.

Depends some days. I like using a slow sink line and a painfully slow retreive. I also hang them under a small indicator. My favorite is the retreive as the fish always seem to hammer it

Thx for feedback. My favourite Epoxy is hard to find these days so am on the lookout for options.

Interesting...I've used the full sink but never the clear line. I will have to try that on the next experimenting day Great fun when fish take flies on the turn
