browndrake Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 They look great !! Link to post Share on other sites
Chubs Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I have 2 patterns coming, too. (One of them is essentially for entertainment, unless you like fishing tiny midge patterns...) Those look great, D. Case! The extended body with the biot tails looks like a great stonefly imitation. Do you do all the tying on the hook or do you tie the extended body on a needle and then transfer it (or something else altogether)? Link to post Share on other sites
D. Case Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I tie it on a needle and transfer it. Stack the two colors of foam and segment the body along the pin. Easy and works great. Also makes a great giant may fly pattern for Michigan's Hex hatch. Link to post Share on other sites
shoot-straight Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Wow, those are beautiful.... Mine are much more Spartan but I'm putting mine in the mail. Went with a heavy big fish fly. A "double bunny" small rainbow trout imitation. I really am hoping that most will give it a try, and they have enough rod to cast it. I have a lot of success with the pattern in both fresh and salt water. Link to post Share on other sites

browndrake Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'll keep an updated received flies list in original post. Got Chubs yesterday. BTW...chubs...for me, fishing is all about entertainment, and out here we are crazy enough to throw midges just like those. aaron Link to post Share on other sites

browndrake Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 I just got back from Idaho and had two more packages of flies waiting for me. I think everybody will be happy with the nice flies this year. Link to post Share on other sites

browndrake Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share Posted May 13, 2017 I just got back from being in Texas for the week. The last batch of flies arrived yesterday. They should all get picked up by mailman on Monday. Some really nice looking flies! Link to post Share on other sites
browndrake Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 I ended up having to work out of town all week. Flies being dropped at post office today. Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 Got my flies in the mail this morning. What a great assortment can't wait to give them a try. Thanks to all for their great work. PS.... I almost missed the tiny midge stuck to the piece of foam. I don't think I could ever tie that small. Between my eyes and my big clumsily hands I would lose it somewhere in the process.
