Spiel Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Sure is a lot of talented folks here. Well in my post surgery boredom I decided to break out the fly tying gear after what is likely a 20 year hiatus. I haven't tied to many and I'm definitely a little rusty! Fingers are not as nimble as they once were and my failing eyesight is clearly apparent, to me at least. I've also been playing with new techniques and materials, like bead head jigs. Here's a few from the past couple of weeks. This one just came together about half an hour ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiel Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Sooooo Chris can you make me a Pike sized minnow fly between now and Lak Air? I will trade you a real manly muskie lure for it. Art Well I've never made anything bigger than trout flies Art but I'd be happy to try for you considering all you've done for me. The fundamentals would be the same just have to up scale them a bit, okay a lot. How would you plan on fishing them? While I'm here this one just came out of the vise about 20 minutes ago. Been playing with some new material for the legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
