Thread: Christmas Fly?

  1. #1

    Default Christmas Fly?

    We need a Christmas Fly for the Fly of the Week for FAOL. We've done a Yule Mouse, a Snowman and a Santa Fly. Do you have something neat we can use here? Either post here or drop me an email. The more the merrier - well it is Christmas! Whatever fly is chosen, we will need a Materials List and Step by Step instructions with photos. The Winning Fly will be featured as Fly of the Week a couple of weeks before Christmas, so folks have time to tie it. We'll see that the 'winner' has an appropriate Christmas present for their efforts. Email me here at:
    publisher@flyanglersonline.com
    Have fun!

    Neat idea Deana!*G*

    If memory serves, Ron Eagle Elks begginers group last
    year had some interesting Christmas flies. Perhaps
    Ron could post some pictures to inspire us.*G* Warm
    regards, Jim

    I tie a Christmas Softhackle, but it's really a simple fly, don't think it's what you're looking for.

    " Fishermen, hunters, wood choppers, and others,
    spending their lives in the fields and woods,
    in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves,
    are often in a more favorable mood for observing her,
    in the intervals of their pursuits,
    than philosophers or poets even,
    who approach her with expectation."

    Here's a neat fly tied by Julie Neilson, Grand Rapids, MI. It's called the Royal Christmas

    I tie them and put them in clear bulbs suspended on a thin wire for tree ornaments.

    Deanna:
    I have tried to send you some information that you asked for and I cannot seem to get it to deliver either to "publisher" or FAOL.
    Please respond.

    I just thought of one, I think I will call it, "The Reindeer dropper."

    And people wonder why my wife is embaressed sometimes.
