Hi, PaGuy,
When I tie the marabou on, I use small amounts and tie in thirds around the shaft...if that makes sense. I always add more if the fly looks like it's on a diet. I do a LOT of stroking, too, as I tie things down. I hope this explanation helps.
Paguy, took 2 of the extra flies you had sent my King fishing this past weekend. WOW, I had a couple tearing that fly up. I will definatly have a few of those in the fly box for kings next year and also the upcoming steelhead trip in April. Thanks again. Chris
Chris Im glad you like the flys thanks for trying them out on the kings.
The winters are long up here so that was a fly I made up. Its nice to live in Alaska the fly shops have all sorts of great salmon tying material.
DianeID I think i get it you remove the marabou of the stem and tie it in, :idea: making it easy to make your on lenght = not to long of a feather :idea:
Neil
PaGuy--That's right... The stems always seem too bulky to tie on the hook. It may not be the correct way, but it works for me. I hope they work for you. Say hello to Ship Creek for me next time you drive by.
Diane
Correct way? I didnt know there was a wrong way to tie flys :lol:
I drive by Ship everyday so will do.

My ship has come in!
The flies arrived yesterday and were waiting for me when I got home last night. Thank you everyone, you have all done a wonderful job.
A special thanks to our swapmiester. I glad I joined in.
Thanks again, everyone.
I got my flies... They are great. Thanks for a wonderful swap. This was a lot of fun. I can hardly wait to try some of them out.
Well the Salmon/Steelhead swap has wrapped up and I beleive everyone has received their flies and were extreamly happy with the outcome. I look forward to being in many more swap with everyone. This swap is now Completed and Closed!!!!
