    Default First attempt at large flies

    Here is some pictures of my first attempt at Streamers, Deer hair head/Rabbit strip and a White & Chartreuse Clouser.

    They look terrific and I'm sure that you'll catch plenty of fish on them. I really don't enjoy casting large flies that cast like a wet gym sock so whenever I tie "large" flies, I try to use materials that do not hold the water too much. I have a "new" fly fur that I will be trying in the next week or so and hopefully it will shed the water when I back cast. I'll let you know how it works out.

    Nice flies and thanks for sharing. It's always nice to see what others are tying just to get ideas and perhaps a bit of motivation.
