Beautiful flies, I think you should do a fly of the week on one of them or at least post the official patterns, they are amazing.
The nubby tack that they are sitting on....is that in a fly box or a big sheet? My boss is looking for a sheet of nubby tack to put in some fancy wooden fly boxes he is making but cannot find the nubby tack in "bulk".
Excellent, Dwight
Hi Dwight:
The Nubby Tak is in my fly box. If I come across any I will let you know.

Wow!
Very nice job! 8TReally beautiful!
Long time no see.
The only guy I know who ties flies like those is Andy Brasko. Nice to see your work again Andy. Don would be proud!

Those are works of art, should have all the fish gazing at them for sure!!
Dwight is right, you got to put together a Fly of the Week and get JC to post.Originally Posted by DBenner
On a lighter note I'd love to see what you put together when you are not bored!
Great job
Jim
There are three ways to complete a project. The right way, the wrong way or the Boss' way. You'd best learn the Boss' way.
Love those flies. Beautifully done. Perfect rib wraps, eh?
Eric, missing your Old Flies and stuff. Where ya been?

Fontinalis,
Those flies are truely superb. I am interested in trying my hand at tying some vintage style wets. Someday I might be able to tie some as good as those you have posted (I donbt it though). I do have some questions for you about materials. I have searched far and wide for wet fly hooks that have the classic look of the hooks your flies are tied on. Are those a currently available brand of hook or are they vintage? Do you mind revealing what they are? Also, what is the body floss (silk uni-floss etc)?
Flyfshr:
For show fly's I use Mustad 3399's and for When I am fishing I use Mustad 3906. The flies tied in the Picture used the Mustad 3399. Far as floss I use the Danville 4 strand floss spools. Danville has all the classic colors for tying these flies.
Thanks
Fontinalis
