Hey Fly Tiers...What's In The Vise?

[trapper2000]

it's  a  great  fly been around  since the  1930's   you can  google the patteren  and  video instructions on how  to  tie it

[trapper2000]

Just tied up some natural squirrel tail jigs in 1/32 and 1/64 for gills I am going to tie up some hares ear scuds.

it  worked  and  i  could  cast it with a  5 wt  rod ...... and a  foam  strike indicator   did a  good  job  ...bad thing  only  gor  2  gills and a  stocked  rainbow  on it  swithed  over to a   olive size  14 and   had a  ball

This is a new one for me,I'm sharing a used fly! I tied two of them to try lost one and fished with the other.i was impressed a simple fly to add to your box it's called a bream killer I tied it on a mustard C53S curved hook black chenille rubber legs and a squirrel tail wing big gills and brown trout loved it

Some indicator flies for tandem rigs



And a nymph pattern I’ve been playing with.


I was fishing the nymph under a white foam popper this morning. Hard to see white when the sun first hits the water. Fish didn’t have any problem seeing either. Got them on both.

I’ll just say …..these work really well.


Foam body stimulator.

Those will catch anything that swims! And tree too!

[rgfixit]

I agree…so…I tied a few variations.



 It’s now a permanent member of my fly box. Gotta try some smaller sizes. Maybe down to 16-18….if I can still see that small.

wow you guys are some kind of creative   beautiful work by all - can't imagine what some of your work stations must be worth

If you tie flies, you better not dwell on those things. Fortunately for me, my Bride doesn’t dwell on them either.

I was messing around with a few of Davie Mcphail’s  “Hedgehog” patterns. I’m not on the same fly tying planet as him, but they look ok. They ought to float anyway.



It’s funny, he’s tying flies for trout and salmon and I see “bluegill” written all over them.

[trapper2000]

never cut yourself  short

[trapper2000]

just  tying  some  simple foam spiders   for bluegills in the  morning  ..... i'm putting different color post on the  flies   depending on the  light    sometimes  yo can't see  white  well others you can't see orange

[rgfixit]

Here’s a fly I bumped into in one of my books. The “Pass Lake Special”



This is the original pattern ( as best as I can tie it) Originally tied for trout it’s been modified in many configurations for bluegill.

Pretty simple tie and has limitless possibilities.
