Need to get them babies a little bigger for us to see.
did you click on the pictures?if you click on them,it gets close up
Those look good bxn. They should tear the blugill up.
thx,they sure do kill em!i haven't even tryed the newer ones yet or even some of the older ones lol.i always just seem to throw the same one i have on the flyrod which is a #8 hook green chenille,some sort of white packaging foam i used a small piece of to try and make it float,green thread,and some spinner bait skirt material for legs.very simple but very effective!think ive tryed this fly in at least 3 lakes with good results.gonna make some more with blood quill feather material i recently ordered.
Looks like a good start. Now you have lots of room to fill so shouldn't run out of things to tie for a while huh?
I know that there is a long way to go on mine. My little one is pretty good and maybe still get a good many in there, but I have a big fly box and it's no where near 1/4 full. Long way to go for me there.
I am about to do another wasp and maybe some others, but had my eye on the Parks Shrimp ever since I got my Jungle Cock capes.

im notorious for fitting extra things into a small space lol before i had 2 gun lockers i had 30 somthin guns jammed into a 12 gun locker :D so glad i have the other,everything fits better.i could easily fit a lot of tiny flies made on #16 hooks into my flybox.your right,i need to get to it and fill the box up,have plenty of time around here :)
bxn I started tying so I would have something to do. I use to spend a lot of time every day on stock research and looking at charts, chatting with others about the markets. When I quit with my physical issues I can't fish all day every day and I sure didn't want to sit in front of the TV all day long. So here is where I went and love it a lot so if you have time to fill, may as well fill it tying huh? LOL
You look like you have enough flies and spoons to last awhile. Looks good.
i usually do have tv on watching fox news channel a lot.but when i really start bangin out flies n jigs,it just gets oblivious to me.today in the mail arrived 1 backordered item from my recent fly tying order.size #18 for micro cadis,and midge pupae.gee i wonder if the dinks will even leave it alone enough to get it infront of a big gill lol.at least i won't be using a lot of materials to make stuff with these hooks.
LOL.I have some real problems tying a 1/80 oz. jig with a size 12 hook.That 18 would just kill me.
yah size #18 is gonna be a fun(fun in the patience trying way) thing to try.im used to doin 1/80 jigs tho.thats the size i do mostly.
