Love the color spectrum in your work. Some awesome patterns !!! Tarnation, it's making me slobber like all the fish that are going to get a good look at those patterns !!!

Very nice flies! Looks like Fly of The Week to me, apply for it.
Could you post some tying instructions?

You can't just say that those flies were "tied". They were created!! Neat stuff. I am truly impressed. You have to submit a fly of the week.

'G" I'm not buying it, seems like hook threw rubber, then again, prove me wrong, with a fly of the weak... Then I'll set humble and bow...

Nice looking flies Henry. I have a question about the first one. The three pieces of mylar braid seem to have the cord left in them. Is that the case? If so, does it sink easily and does it get heavy for casting when wet?

Those are some of the most realistic flies I have seen! Exceptional! I would really like to see one or more on the FOTW! I'm dying to know how you tied them!
Those are just amazing baitfish imitations. Please let me second the motion to do one as a Fly of the Week. Really beautiful! 8T

You had better learn to be a happy camper. You only get one try at this campground and it's a real short camping season.
WOAH!...thanks gang!,
I really appreciate the comments.
I'll consider the FOTW suggestion.
For those whom are wondering...the cord was removed from all three lengths of mylar in the Silversides and Mackerel patterns. These flies are only lightly coated in epoxy thusly making a very light fly that drains water quite well. In fact, the flies initially float head down until the mylar tubes fill with water...kind of cool!
The Shad imitation is entirely coated in epoxy and was an attempt at a Presentation Artfly...I like fishables better though. That shad would hurt like heck if it ever hit me in the back.
Regards, and great site!

Fantastic work, just incredibly realistic. I'll have to chime in with everyone else on this. Great job.
