What's in your vise?

[Squatchin]

Wow 16 pages deep already! Off to a crackin good start.

Tied these foxy flies up for a lake swap. Three ingredients other than hook and bead. Simple is about all I have time for when tying more than one of something. 6 more to go!

cut back on the craft fur (in addition to color change), added a layer of bucktail to give it depth, then titan dubbed the head. ~3" total length

Nick is thinking off shore and I’m thinking coho from the beach.

A couple more for SRC.

Sorry, one more chum fry…

I like fishing hornbergs but don't have much practice tying them. The mallard breast feathers are tricky. Here's my current attempt.

Years ago I used to fish those, looks like a dry but I always had luck stripping it wet. I tied it more with the mallard stem in line with the shank, and brown grizzly tips as I had no jungle cock eye. That was one of the flies that taught me not to fish certain wind resistant fly styles with too long and fine a leader, which helps me fish stimulators now. Great tie.
Wonder what a soft light partridge in back and a spidered dark brown up front for a soft hackle wet streamer, humm...?

Not again! Please, no! When it gets to 12,000 posts, I can't find a pattern I might want to tie...

An experimental daphnia cluster.

Hook: Daiichi 1720 #10
Thread- Chartreuse UTC 70
Tail: reddish brown marabou
body: Angora goat with cooper flash- spun in a loop wrapped and teased out
hotspots: chartreuse and hot orange UV resin

I expect this to catch fish, but not so sure about the durability of the hot spots

Got a few Sekasa Kebari tied this morning. Quick and easy to tie; deadly to fish.

How do you fish those?

Bass fly.


I have high hopes for this being weedless.
Size 2 worm hook, with non lead wire up the shank.
Rabbit strip tail
Some sort of black and shiny synthetic wrap body
"Crusty nail" dubbing hot spot
Black deer hair "wing" and head

Bass fly V.2, with a tungsten barbell eye.

Dreaming of warmer days when the trouts are bulging but not breaking the surface, sz 14 soft hackles, almost as much fun as emergers and cripples.
