Beautiful fly Hans. Thanks for contributing so much and sharing with us.

Looks like it will catch fish to me. Nice tie.

That's a great deal!

Looks like it will work well. Where did you get the mattress foam?

Beautiful fly's as always!

Accomplished flyfisherman and artist! That's a beautiful watercolor.

Liking the cdc. Sounds like your up Chewydog for a post with at least one of your suggestions. I'm sure it will look great. If you don't want to go head to head with Byron do the loopwing version...

Really liking those buzzers Donald. Great work as always.

AlanB, great work with the wire bodies. It would have been useful to have some of these this week as I was having difficulty getting my flies deep enough this past week eventhough they were some of...

Both of these look great. Good job Hairwing on the split wings and design. I like yours too planettrout. I've seen a lot of biot bodies lately but don't have much experience with them. How well...

All of them are beautiful. Well Done.

Beautifuly done. I still don't get how you accomplished putting a bead on a spider and making it still look good. Is it the size of bead that makes the difference or the hook or a skill only the...

Well said :). I was hoping you would chime in on the subject.

I assume something similar has been tied before and may have a name, but I made this one up just using what I had available. I called it the "Peacock and Grey" going with an"old-timey" like name to...

I wish I had a good answer to this question, but I am by no means an expert. I assume that most people refer to "softhackles" as a fly that uses a soft feather wrapped circumfirentially around the...

A week or two ago I posted some March Browns which were the first stripwing flies I had tied. This past week I saw an unnamed stripwing on the front of a fly magazine that looked nice and decided to...

Hey Greg, good call on the head cement. I've never really used it so it never came to mind. I'll keep that as a solution if I have a particularly untidy head that I can't thread the tippet through...

I just showed my wife the link above and was telling her about the winging material and she says "its just organza, I have some of that" :) Now I have a new winging material to try out, and I...

Thanks for the link Silver. That's a new material I've never seen. Looks like its fun to use. So many great patterns...

Thanks Donald for the compliments: it was your site that started me tying soft hackles and continues to serve as inspiration. I don't know much about the properties of beaver fur as I just started...

Thanks for posting. Your flies keep me thinking outside the box with the color combos. Great work.

Very nice flies.

Greg

My expedition into diffusion hackling spilled over into my wet flies in using the wing casing to re-distribute the wet hackle fibers. Not a new technique at all but its funny how one thing leads to...

Thanks for sharing the step by step. Looks like a fun and durable fly.

I second Kelkay's request and would love to see pictures. In my minds eye it looks like a great fly. :)
