When I conventional fish my "go to" is a Rage Craw so naturally the fly I tied was a crawfish!



although it looks more like a fox to me

Did this Damsel fly tonight.

That is simply amazing!!! WOW!!!!!

A foam spider:


and a couple of nymphs:


3/4" long, Brown.


The latter are variations on a GRHEN.

They all look great, Kirk. I really like that middle one? What's the collar? Is it peacock herl?

do you have a pattern or video you based this fly off of?

HMK,
It is just 3 colors of SLF Dubbing. Orange and orangey brown, with dark brown under the wing case.
Tail is PT fibers dyed olive and Wingcase is PT fibers dyed black. The white head is tying thread.

My version of The Clem Kadittle Hopper. If you haven't watched Fish Tales, you really need to check out his videos on YouTube.

I gave the damsel fly another go. I still have some work to perfect it. I forgot to add wings.

Mostly tying jigs this week, but did do a couple of spiders to break it up a little.

I haven't been able to tie anything for a while. So, to get back at it, here are some mercury midges (or at least a variant of the pattern ):

A couple of size 22 Mercury style Zebra midges to go with last week's set. The pink one is one of the 20's for reference.

Them look good, Rex. I tied a size 18 GRHEN the other day, just for the heck of it. It looked good, but I didn't photo it, so it might really look like [censored].

Kirk, I think posting pictures of my flies has helped me become a better tyer than anything else I've done. Seeing an enlarged photo of one of my flies is a very humbling experience.

Every mistake is obvious...

Well decided to tie something other than the trout flies that have seemed to fill up my boxes.
First up is what I think is called a Moria Fly. 1/80oz Jighead, crystal flash and some thread. Worked great for the white bass the last time I fished for them. Several years ago.

Next is a version that I want to try out of the same fly. same 1/80oz jighead, crystal flash, and small pearl chenille.

And of coarse the Briminator. Not a very good one, Gene sent me a few when I purchased one of his rods a few years back. His out fished mine probably 10 to 1. These are tied with one pheasant cathedral feather. Like I said dosnt compare to Gene's.
