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 .

porkpie Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Interesting pattern, how well do they float without hackle? I assume they are dry flies with the wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ironmaker Posted April 25, 2020 Report Share Posted April 25, 2020 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.

I had the same thoughts as Dave in regards to hackle, and I’m sure they’ll work great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
