Fly tying and patterns sharing thread

[The Nothing]

been a LLLOONNNGGG while since I visited the site, and probably will be here much more frequently as the days shorten. Thought I might share a few things from the last month or so...

some tuna streamers




beaded soft hackles




metalheads

little olive pheasant tail (pictured on a cigarette)



materials:
abdomen: 5 barbs green pheasant tail
rib: none (color of barbs only)
thorax: 2 peacock hurls twisted
shell back: 6 pheasant barbs pulled forward
legs: shell pheasants pulled back (kind of)
eyesight, patience: essential

that tow-rope is 5X tipp

about as small as I can go, just found the photo on my camera and thought I'd share it here. tied on the bank of the Deschutes in bright sunlight, after coffee, before beer.

bugs and help with feathers.

bugs and help with feathers.

some pics of nymphs I use on the rogue and applegate. I really dig the trout retrievers tied on a big jig hook, I dont have any pics of them.

Has anyone ever tied with owl feathers ? I found a barn owl feather and was using it for the back of the thorax, it was pretty amazing what the material does when it is folded over and tied off at the bead. So where can owl feathers be aquired, maybe from a taxidermist or some old mount in a thrift store maybe.

Cheers.

Those look super fishy. I really like the rubber leg nymphs.

Messing around with some Z-Lon and Antron for some bully streamers. They work, well!




A peak at swap flies!

Thanks for the props, rubber legs are awesome especially when they start kicking back and forth in the water. Eggs and Legs.

Iv seen those chartreuse flies before! Nice! Those applegate fish love them. Can't wait for them to show up.

I posted some new flies on the front page of this thread. I will update that post every time I tie flies I think you guys will like.

Ya over on the O you would want to fish a Z-midge or WD-40 under that. A PussyBooger would be a good option, but you'll have to tie that for me in a sz 18 or 20.

That's a pretty hefty claim that you came up with that! I'm sure they have been around for a long time, never seen one myself though!
