What's in your vise?

[Kfish]

Love it.

Are those glow in the dark strips on the bottom of the fly?

They’re GITD hootchie strips

Took a run at a couple of silver browns and silver ladies, subbed a few things for what I had on hand.

Been texting with @Kfish about ling flies all day. My poor imitation of the fly he posted earlier. Buried a rattle in there somewhere.



Another fry for this weekend.

Imitative Boobies. I have had good success with both of these. They are excellent for fishing right on the bottom with very few snags and are relatively weed free. have posted the dragon before but with rubber legs. Both types work.

Damsel
Hook: 2-3x long nymph hook #10-12
tail: Olive marabou
abdomen: Olive hares ear
rib: Olive or chartreuse wire
thorax: filoplume from olive or yellow ringneck
eyes: foam cylinder
Wing case: Turkey- coated with UV resin (helps with filoplume durability)




Dragon
Hook: Daiichi 2220 or 1720 #6
Rear/tail: Olive marabou
body: Olive deer
Legs: Olive or yellow pheasant wrapped and trimmed from top and bottom
Eyes: Foam Cylinder

This may be a stupid question but how come you tie them so far back on the shank on the 2nd and 3rd flies?

I do it to try and prevent fouling. Not sure it actually works great for that purpose though . I’ve tied flies like this off and on for a few years and they work well and seem to foul less. I tied these because I am fishing with kfish tomorrow and he tied some this week. If they end up being the the hot fly, I want a couple in my box! I think it originated with tarpon flies and if you read about it the reasons people cite are varied…to prevent fouling, act as an extra bite tippet, so the fly could be snelled.

I also just like tying different crap too. Just to see if it works. SRC are a good fish to do that with.

Just made one green while waiting for my wife to get ready for city biking. I really want to get some sea run cutthroats with tube flies. I got one last week on minnow pattern.

Ran out of my favorite short shank hooks for these flies (Kona BGH 2/0s) so I used a bit smaller but longer hook and compensated the space with some body tubing behind the last 3 feathers.

These are going to get wet tomorrow...hoping the fish care (although I did pick up one this morning on a fly similar to the worm here....super finesse...not something I'm used to...)




I'm not so worried about the white one as I'm pretty confident with how that thing will swim...and how I can manipulate it.
