If you want to get together sometime, say the word.

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

10-4 will do thanks. Gotta figure these toothy suckers out first. Tossing 6" bugs for the first time in a kayak should be a site to see  :w00t:

Did I send you a furled leader heavy enough for pike? They're the cats meow for heavy flies. Turn them over with ease.

When it looks like you've tied a dead chicken and two rabbit skins and an entire buck tail on a couple of hooks......you've got almost anough stuff on there. I used to fly fish them in Canada quite a while ago.

Rg

I love it, I got it half way right then, I called this one half a rainbow chicken when I was done with it


This would be the other half I guess, not as long, but I added double and triple the layers of marabou



Those started off as


The deep end of that worm hook is wrapped with a bunny strip so it maintains a deep body profile. Those use the same magnum bunny strip as the this bunny seaducer/leech (two bunny strips palmered together for the body)

Trapper. Nice fly. How do you get the eyes to stay on that fur? I tried super glue and some of mine still fall off in water.

There is some lead free wire wrapped around the bend to keep it riding upright. I can’t wait to see how the fish respond.  I haven’t had a chance to fish them yet but I have confidence in them.
