What's in your vise?

[Gary Knowels]

Just messing around with materials I have on hand, still with coho in mind. Everything in this fly came in a pile of tying materials I bought from a guy on the old site. I think I paid $50 for a couple of overflowing paper grocery bag of materials from a guy was getting rid of all of his tying stuff.

Cool variation on a great pattern. Putting the Hackle in front of the hair-wing is a nice look. Alec Jackson heavy wire hook?

Messing round with split nanosilk dubbing loops instead of regular loops. It worked.

Fishing.

Getting ready to head to BC and doing some binge tying. One thing we noticed was the fish seem to look up a lot. Whipped up a few damsels to try:

Nothing too special other than my first foray into making cork bugs. A buddy has always supplied me with them so I figured time to do some myself. Just messing with the cork I have which is smaller, good bluegill bug size.

Size 6…I can fit ten of them on the palm of my hand without stacking

PT Canyon Arrow, size 6, with 5mm bead. (In case I had to follow ScottP through all that great cutthroat water!)

Pheasant tail over Aussie, with bugger-wrapped hen. Got a sweet new tail. Pheasant mightier than Squirrel.

Still haven’t actually caught much with one.
