I'm impressed!
wow
Those are some nice flies! To steal a phrase, I'd say you are 'fishin what they see!'

Hey Henry,
Exceptional looking flies! I hope your
aware that you'll get no peace from us now
until you submit a "Fly of the Week" to the
Ladyfisher. Inquiring minds want to see
how it's done.*G* Warm regards, Jim
Pretty neat stuff, Henry.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
Hans W

Very nice looking flies! If they won't provoke a take, nothing will.
Happy Trails!
Ronn

Nice Try Henry...
Putting live bait onto a hook and saying you tied it! j/k
Nice flies! FOTW definitely!!
Love the color spectrum in your work. Some awesome patterns !!! Tarnation, it's making me slobber like all the fish that are going to get a good look at those patterns !!!
Very nice flies! Looks like Fly of The Week to me, apply for it.
Could you post some tying instructions?
-Joe
You can't just say that those flies were "tied". They were created!! Neat stuff. I am truly impressed. You have to submit a fly of the week.

The only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves.
'G" I'm not buying it, seems like hook threw rubber, then again, prove me wrong, with a fly of the weak... Then I'll set humble and bow...
PS: The secound pic of the shrimp, I can see...

Nice looking flies Henry. I have a question about the first one. The three pieces of mylar braid seem to have the cord left in them. Is that the case? If so, does it sink easily and does it get heavy for casting when wet?
------------------
Joe
Those are some of the most realistic flies I have seen! Exceptional! I would really like to see one or more on the FOTW! I'm dying to know how you tied them!
Those are just amazing baitfish imitations. Please let me second the motion to do one as a Fly of the Week. Really beautiful! 8T

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
WOAH!...thanks gang!,
I really appreciate the comments.
I'll consider the FOTW suggestion.
For those whom are wondering...the cord was removed from all three lengths of mylar in the Silversides and Mackerel patterns. These flies are only lightly coated in epoxy thusly making a very light fly that drains water quite well. In fact, the flies initially float head down until the mylar tubes fill with water...kind of cool!
The Shad imitation is entirely coated in epoxy and was an attempt at a Presentation Artfly...I like fishables better though. That shad would hurt like heck if it ever hit me in the back.
Regards, and great site!
Henry
Fantastic work, just incredibly realistic. I'll have to chime in with everyone else on this. Great job.
Eric
Outstanding job! Thanks for sharing. Correct me if I am wrong, but I see 4 FOTW.
Those baitfish patterns would be "killer" in our local pike pond.

Another question Henry. In my experience, mylar tubing is not very durable, gets torn up from catching fish. I found coating it with epoxy or softex helps but then it stiffens up the tubing and the fly can get curved and twist up the leader. I suppose I should wait for a FOTW but I would like to know how you deal with that.

Hey Henry,
I know the guys are lusting after your
minnow flies, and rightfully so, but that
little shrimp kritter trips my trigger. Can
you provide any details on that one? Warm
regards, Jim
that is about as "minnowy" as it gets!
Looking forward to the Fly of the Week on those.

Awesome flies :^)
To cool Henry, really nice job. Say where did you say you live and when are we going fishing with yor flies?
Wow! Those are some amazing flies. You def. need to do a FOTW.
Henry, great looking flies. Doing a fly of the week is really easy to do and from the sound of things from my fellow FAOLers you really need to consider it. I'd really like to see how those are done too.
Again, great flies.

FYI-ALL:
If you have not taken a peek-link over in the profile to Henry's web storage site to see images of a LOT more of his cool flies.... This fellow fishes a lot and is a monster tyer!
