Here's a quick 2 minute tie

and hey

it's my first attempt at Hell so it ain't great, but thought to give it a quick shot to what we're up against

but I'm sure you guys can wrestle something from your fluff + feathers n'est pas?

This is a better view...shows what I've done to the hook profile...

sadly the hackle is too long...

but hey...I tried

looking forward to the write up on this one CC...

One of the biots broke while I tied it....SOB. But the thorax is the first tube I've tied and is weighted just as the abdomen is. Total length is about 2 1/2 inches. So part tube part articulated fly. Where's the bass...dam it.....lol.

Word doc dude...
Nice tie though!!! Great to take something by the horns and further develop one's skills...the next one will be even more awesome. I will post up my articulated stone soon...

And oh yeah...those biots can be brittle. the problem is when you make an adjustment and re-tie your biot in place it is already weakened and subject to breaking off more readily..."SOB" indeed

Can't wait to see your next one grub...

To add to the Hellgrammite Hype, I'd thought I would tie up my first.... I tied it using the best of my abilities using my limited materials... at 11:45 at night... I know I messed up the tail, but that's cause it was first time using that kind of backing. Which by the way is a cut up surgical glove coloured in.

Grub & Noob:

Those are sweet! Grub those sections and legs look really cool, and Noob those colours are great. Thanks for sharing!

Great flies everyone I wish I had time to tie more 12 hour night shifts working security In a hospital takes its toll on having any fun
