Eyes were going cross after 25 of them. Added colored tails as hot spots. Will find out in the spring,if I can tie them to my line .LOL

On to smaller #,s once I get uncrossed. LOL

Nice work Brian,.you mentioned proportions. That was a learning curve for me for sure. Especially hackles! Too litlle......wont float! Too big......fly wont sit right on the surface! Check out Reelflies.ca. an ontario fly company ! Thier catalog,has  excelent pictures of 2500 their flies! This sure helped me a lot with how they should look! Check it out  ! Cheers!

Is this site still in business ? They have great prices on hooks,but 80% are sold out . Fly boxes are very reasonable . Shipping is cheap enough for sure .

Do you have an online store you like to use ?

 

Thanks gang.

 

BillM, GBay still has white fish ? Thought they were almost extincted do to over netting ? Would love to try for some on the fly . I supply flys,you supply blind fold and ride .LOL

Nice work Brian! I remember using size 12 and 16 hooks to catch minnows, they seemed awful small for anything else.

I am still a newbie to this fly fishing Paul. John said to go small last spring, #18.l can  not believe these fish can see those, but they are on them, like I am on a pizza with anchovies.

I buy more than I tie, usually from Reelflies.  Yes, they are still in business.

Thanks Ray

I will keep an eye on their restocking .

I used to think that #16 hooks were VERY small for whities and steelhead, but they did catch fish.  On 2 lb Berkley Trimax line, that was good stuff.

Don't think I could tie them on to my line any more with these old eyes though.............and a number 22???????????Yikes!!!
