Spending a little time playing around tying while watching videos this evening. This is something I came up with. squirrel tail, a single wraps of sparkle braid and Palmere'd
FL. orange cock hackle feather.... hoping to get their attention. Yes, I left the feather tip on next to the tail...All on a 1/80th oz jig.
The tittle should of read, " Playing At The Vise".

And thank you to whoever got the subject tittle right.
Good looking tie.
Very nice. I would make sure to tighten that eye though, looks a little bit open to me.
Love it. Need to get me some hackle pliers so I can start to do this too.
I need to tie some real small ones for bream fishing
I like the red and black, or is it orange? Either way it’s great!
Dr.Nip, I just grab on with my hands. Don't own no hackle pliers. Works for me so far...
DSJ, that one is a 1/80th oz on a #6. About as small as I'll go. Well, Maybe a #8. I bought a box of asst. hooks at Walmart a few days ago, just to practice on making my son-in-law some trout fly's. sure need smaller dia. thread for sure...
Nice one Eric! I have some sparkle braid on order. I'm planning on using it on the back of my flies/jigs like a shellcase. I like the way you used it. Will try that also. Thanks!
It was hard to tell the size. That should be small enough for bream.Quote:

Eric, my friend that little creation will put fish in the boat which will feed you and your family. I agree with closing that gap in the eye. Great job.

I like it. It will fall slow and be sure to get their attention. Nice work. I fooled with different feathers for the palmering and was surprised at how good some turned out. Some of the skinnier feathers made em look down right buggy. After trimming one of them along the back the remaining fuzz made it look like some flies I’ve seen that I think are called scuds. Like a Maggot with tiny legs.
That would work well also. The scud flies look a lot like grass shrimp to meQuote:

Looks like a drowned wasp! Really good looking tie
Trout should love it as well as bream. Or at least the big bream. I use a size 8 hook for bream as it keeps the little ones at bay somewhat.
I certainly hope they do. we will find out soon enough. Momma goes back to work this Monday, which is supposed to be a good day, weatherwise. Hoping to be able to get some line wetting in in the afternoon.Quote:
