man that thing is gorgeous! nice work. what are the specs? am I seeing 9' on the label?
I'd like to get in on this one......put me down for a size 20 tungsten bead redneck olive biot nymph....thanks, Jason
Guys, I guess I didn't understand what these monthly swaps were about. I should have done a little homework. I don't want to commit to a monthly swap at this time. Thanks, Jason
I don't recall where or who I got this from but, I use the hook gape for wetfly downwings and 2/3 gape for vertical wings on dries. Those proportions look the best to me. Jason
I'd like to join this swap if there is room. I can tie a "grouse and flash" softhackle......thanks, Jason
Rod is sold
Hiya Wookie....been awhile, hope you are doin okay.....You can count me in for a olive biot nymph that has really done well this year and a size 20 BWO parachute that I wouldn't be without! Looking...

any spots left?...if so, count me in....patterns tbd....thanks, Jason
nicely tied and the wing length could be a little shorter but that's not the end of the world!
To make the fly more true to LaFontaine's pattern, the wing should end below or even with the bottom...

Hi BG and swappers....I guess I'm the last set.....I have them tied and will get them in the mail tomorrow. By the time I got around to these, I was kinda burnt out on wetflys so I tied some drys...
Hi MN....here's a tip from the originator of the Deciever....assemble the feathers for one side together and wet them down. They will stick to each other and behave themselves. Then put both sides...
Hi Barry....to get the wings to look like the last fly you posted, you have to treat the flank just as you do the duck quill. In other words, the flank wings should be "slips" from a right and left...
Hi Raw.....for mayfly drys, you might consider a "generic" approach. Instead of getting the material for and trying to tie all the "name flies", just tie a few different styles in the colors...
