FLYMPH FORUM

Thinking about those BWO again ...

Hook: Daiichi 1550, Size #16
Thread: Gudebrod Size "A" nylon rod winding thread
Hackle: Light blue dun hen
Body: Thread wraps, flattened going back, corded coming back

Bill - You make working with size "A" thread look easy. I'm sure mine would be all lumpy, by comparison. Nicely done, my friend.

Mr. Bill, that is one very 'neat' fly indeed. What I like is to turn it around and show
us your off-side view of them. .

Wow Bill! I really like this one! Indeed, B.W.O. Your pattern is so neat and well tied! Very delicate too! May we see more from your den?
Impressed D.

Like this?

tye2fish, Howdy;

Mr. Bill, I was attempting to say that you are kind enough to show us a fly in a right-handed tyer's
positioning (Standard display). All the while yourself being Left-handed, so you are showing us the
fly's 'off side' from the way in which you tyed it ... unless you tye as a right-handed tyer. Then all
bets are off and I'll leave with the taste of shoe leather in my mouth ... , , .

Friend Hank ~ I do a number of things right-handed, including swinging a baseball bat and golf club. Tying also falls into that category.

That's a beautiful fly. The body is so smooth I was thinking it was a woven body. Fantastic work.

That's beautiful Bill!

Sweet pattern, Bill. I've looked at some of my rod building spools and thought they would be nice on a larger pattern. A #16 would not have occurred to me, mostly because I would have made a mess of it. You certainly do have a magic touch.
