A few ties

All about flies Fly Tying

Hi,

Sat down at the vice the other day and tied up a few size 12 wets. These are my own pattern, the top one being one that’s in the FOTW archives (Golden Vice Fly; found here: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/fotw/2010/fotw20101101.php ). The middle one is tied the same way, but I used fibres from a red feather from the Golden Pheasant skin, camel thread, a gray thorax, and the hackle is woodcock. The bottom one is also tied the same way, but the fibres are dark ones from a ringneck pheasant skin, black thread, black thorax, and the hackle from the wing of a female ringneck pheasant wing.

Very nice patterns and flies. Do you use these mostly in still water or moving river streams?

Most excellent and elegant, Jeff. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys.

Warren, I use these mostly in moving streams, but you could pull them near bull rushes and along weed beds in a still water.

Jeff,

Beautifully tied. Love the markings on hen pheasant; trying to incorporate it in more of my flies.

Regards,
Scott
