Looks like acrylic?... good work, keep painting...

Grey ghost inspired is more accurate...grey marabou.

"Suburban drainage ditch fly fishing" has its moments... 52 degrees windy, water was up and cloudy with about 2 feet of visibility. Swinging a grey ghost marabou streamer...

That's a great fly you tied there! I'm a self appointed creativity guru and the son of one of the true masters of fly tying...and I say keep it simple, figure out what to SUBTRACT from a pattern and tie with about 20 percent less bulk. Notice how long it takes to tie a pattern and try to cut...

I tie my "airhead" streamer slightly differently ( using regular flat sheet foam) but the design always includes an eye. Fishes exactly like a booby..

Changing small habits can reap big dividends. I typically rig the second nymph from the bend of the first hook. It works, but I can see how "eye to eye" might provide a better presentation. "Bend to eye" seems to prevent fouling...I've been running a floating nymph in a bump rig lately which has...

I've been singing the praises of this fly for years, to mostly deaf ears. There seems to be a stigma attached. Work quite well in rivers and lakes for Bass, Sea Runs and Salmon. I fish it on a sinking line. The retrieve makes it dive. It floats up slowly when slack. In rivers, it stays down but...

Former Racer...Converted to Recumbent around 1993. Current fleet of bikes Vendetta V20 ( road), Giro 26 XC( Gravel), Zox Z frame low racer ( speed time trials, fun). As fast now ( 59) as I was in my 20's...comfort, speed, and a better view. about 50 miles per week 3K per year...Alternate rides...

I've used an inflatable camping pillow to boost my rear end for better posture and visibility in my discount tube.

This was not just a frivolous post. I appreciate the stories of being attacked by various insect pests and what to do about it. I personally despise yellow jackets and hornets the most...to the point of near phobia. Takes me off my fishing game immediately...

Not worried about the bass, the merlin would worry me.

I like the "sparkle covered with hackle" formula for my flies lately. I think hiding some of the flash works well. I tie my soft hackles with a flashabou body ribbed with soft hackle. Muted, but noticeable at certain angles ....

Has anyone seen this? Dragonfly mounted on a wire with clip. The idea is that it deters all sorts of insect pests...anecdotal evidence yes, scientific evidence, well I have not found any... I would not be foolish enough buy it, but I might tie up a foam dragonfly and mount it to my fishing hat...

My fishing time is currently being invested in new dog training, so I'm reliving old memories.

This is an old pic but still a fresh memory. Small Westside lakes have surprisingly big bass.

While in Bend for baseball tournaments with my son, I fished near town. Nothing great, but there are fish to be caught. Evening was best. dry fly action to sporadically rising fish. No luck with streamers or nymphs. There is a park just north of town. Spent several nights casting there. Biggest...

I like your sense of proportion and style on this fly.

I remember my Dad used this! Literally a fly fishing hall of fame endorsement...
