May fly,s will be out soon

[misfish]

So gave my try at having some on hand . I need new duck flank feathers. Tried Guinea fowl . Works ok, just breaks of fans out to much .

Again, my twist .

And a 1st try at a dragon fly . Sure is a ugly bug . LOL

Rigged up the fly rod today  . Now to get to that wide open space river spot .

Thanks pal

I wished I lived just down the street from you . LOL

I have a mag/light .  Hell I need it .LOL Now to get mag glasses to tie the knots .LOL

The knots are becoming my downfall.  Half of my knots these days end in curled line and a missing hook lol.  I really have to squint and pay attention to what I’m doing!

Interesting pattern, how well do they float without hackle? I assume they are dry flies with the wings.

We had frozen slush and snow on the deck yesterday AM. This afternoon we got our 1st bug attack of the year. We went for a walk after dinner and I ate about 1000 of those little black bastardo's. 

A tip for bug season for the front of your vehicles. I spray Pan cooking spray all over the front of my wife's Kia and my Silverado. No matter how many bugs get splattered onto the bumpers, grill, headlights and mirrors etc. they just wipe off with a clean micro cloth then wash or re spray.

Nice ties Misfish, they could pass for spinners. Experimentation is what it’s all about. I had the same thoughts as Dave in regards to hackle, and I’m sure they’ll work great.
