My Small Fly Box

Just for kicks thought I would show my little box for small flies and I tied maybe half of these is all. Some came from a couple places which part was a special Orvis had for a short time a couple years ago that I just couldn't pass on. Usually Orvis is too high, but a tip about this was on a board I visit and just took advantage of it. I guess it was about 20 something of these.

I just like these little flies a lot and love to tie them.

Pretty good looking stuff there.

Looking good Skip! I see some of the foam flies in there that you used the cutters on. I've done some of those and some popping bugs where I bought the foam popper bodies and tied them. They will do a job on the gill's in my neighbor's pond. I've never tried the flies with the hackle and dubbing. I could see where that would open a whole new addiction!

Nice load of Tye's. I'm about to start tying a few for some trout fishing this fall. Been reading up on Tye's all day. Good selection you have.

Looks like some elk hair caddis, Chernobels and Cahills in there for sure. Like the assortment, I have a couple boxes like that for hot summer river trout and lakes.

Nice selection! Those will catch bluegills for sure. I guess I'll have to pony up and post a picture of my main bluegill and crappie box, too...

Thanks guys.

Scott, you have no idea and costly too!

By all means qk, I would like to see them.

I am going to take on the ants like the ones posted over on the fly board. Love the looks of them.

Are those Chernobyl ants on the bottom left of the right side? a friend uses them a lot and That matches his description. Great assortment. I bet the 'Gills jaws are sore when you take them out for the day.

No Skeet the Chernobyl looks like these...of course what ever color you want and have the foam for.

Them's ugly, but they work I'm sure. Thanks Skip, the education continues......

Skeet I make them with the cutters I posted about not long ago. Lots of different cutters you can get in lots of sizes. You wouldn't believe how many cutters they make.

Skip

Yes I would. I went to that site you posted and couldn't believe how many there was. Started doin the math and realized I wasn't fortune 500 and said goodbye. Them things aint cheap, but they do have their place for sure.

You got that right and I have been avoiding that part of my catalog until today and saw so many more. Well guess it's time to start adding one or two each order until I get all I want. I want some more wing cutters for sure. Still at like $5 a pop and some even higher they cost a lot to have all the sizes or enough sizes of each would be a bunch.

Great lookin flies, quite an assortment..........

I love using the topwater poppers. Cant beat a little topwater bluegill action! Nice flies.
