Rich Farino Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm in. Will be tying a local pattern for smallmouth bass called a Klawdad, invented by Chuck Kraft. I hated this fly until I started fishing them. Can't tie anything with materials harvested from a shot bird - still haven't gone out yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Grifish Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Just checked in and saw that I had not replied on what fly. I'm thinking it will be a March Brown traditional wet fly. If I get rolling I'll tie a bonefish/smallmouth fly. Link to post Share on other sites
HuntersDad Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Count me in. Im still a newbie on the vise and they aren't real pretty but they do catch fish. I will be tying #8 stoneflies. Link to post Share on other sites
GrouseLabMike Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 my fly will be a tungsten bead rubber legged stone. Link to post Share on other sites
LostintheUplands Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 The final line up (unless someone else comes forward in the next week) Each tier will tie 1 fly for each participant, plus one extra - the extra fly will be donated to Brad for use how he sees fit LostintheUplands - no idea, most likely a soft hackle, but this time with a sexy silky body.

GrouseLabMike Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 contemplating tying up some ice dub attractor stones. Would you guys rather have more natural colors or wild colors. I tied up a chartreuse green stone this morning and think it will be a go to anchor fly in the early season. Link to post Share on other sites

GrouseLabMike Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was gifted a huge amount of fly tying material from a guy on another forum. It was included in an estate sale. He offered me a chance to buy It but was down on my luck and could not purchase it. He sent it to me for free and even paid the shipping. The first thing that I see when I open it is my regal vice! I got so many different types of chenille I could create any type of bugger out there. LOL THe thing is I don't really fish them that often. I get a few orders for them now and again. I would have to say my favorite is olive with brown tail, or white crystal. You can not go wrong with a black bugger though. I was shocked when a person wanted size 12 buggers. Typically I tie mine in 8-6. I tried one of these little ones and was surprised at how well they work. Link to post Share on other sites
