FLYMPH FORUM

... to see if anyone really looks at these recipes:

Hook: Mustad 34007 stainless, Size #1
Thread: Store string
Hackle: Grizzly hen tied in by tip
Tail: Matched grizzly hen hackle tips
Abdomen: Touch dubbed spectrumized olive synthetic
Thorax: Kaufman "Flame Stimulator" SLF synthetic dubbing in dropped loop

I copyrighted that pattern years ago. Your recipe is word for word of mine.

I bet that takes the biggest fish for you this fall.

Got a few lakes out here that thing would work in. I think you should name it "Shuck's Fancy".

tie2fish, Howdy;

Interesting design and construction but what I find I need to ask,
is that the braided or the twisted type of shoestring? Also, did you
find it better to tye with the aglets still attached or did you remove
them first?

I thought this was a test to see if we checked recipes?

I'm sorry I poached yours, Wayne -- I honestly didn't know. Actually, I was hoping for more questions about techniques . BTW, this was more difficult than it would appear at first glance.

I'm sure I could use that as a crayfish pattern, and catch fish. Now where did I put that store string?...

Bill, when it comes to flymphs your body skills are top rate. Always great to see your beautiful work.

Oh, wait, I gave this pic a second look and it looks a bit odd. What kind of dub blend did you use for thorax? Looks great.
