Tied this little fishing grade fly in hand, popham colour scheme.

rookie mistake.. i tied on tinsel but forgot to wrap it lol. So i cut it off. Need to get some calftail or something for the wing AND add some crystal flash. Didn't have chenille so used some antron purple dubbing. Should've put more on. So much stuff forgotten but it was fun.

Another fishing fly, this time Baron themed and tied in the vise to speed things up.

That's one colorful wing, Chris! What's the blue material used? Looks like the eye to me.

That would be blue and gold macaw tail.

blue and gold macaw tail.. even sounds cool lol.

[Christopher K]

Haha, ya pricey stuff too.

[IR4J]

Depends on your supplier and quality but macaw is generally around 6$ a feather

[Christopher K]

Ya, sure it is...

 

Maybe a covert but a tail feather starts at about 20 bucks.

[IR4J]

Depends on what length you want, I can get you tail feathers cheaper if you are interested chris. I still know a fair number of show tiers that sell their unwanted product.

Shawarma have any success on these patterns!?

I just started tying really so they're just practice ties. Haven't fished them enough to give an honest answer either way as of yet.

[IR4J]

Another well tied fly shawarma!

^ thanks man. This is quite relaxing i'm finding. Much needed after a stressful day at work. 

 

Here's a new tie with some new material to try out from tonight.
