Fishing day

Went out fishing yesterday.
Had some succes with two new flies to me.
Will get some pictures of them when I write it up.
One pattern from a magazine and the other from one of my dreams.

HA :slight_smile: Glad to hear others like to tie flies from “visions” … :rolleyes:

Mike

Dreams. So THAT’S why your such an innovative tyer, Rick? Can I get the name of your dreammaker?? :wink:

good-lookin’ patterns! Definitely fish-catchers! :smiley:

Red and Peacock Herl!!! They must work well.

Greg

Lookin’ good Rick! They look like they might be good for deeper water with the bead-head and wire ribbing. Glad they worked well for you!

Hi Rick,

I can see it clearly. The fly from your dreams looks just like Paris Hilton in a bikini. The flesh tones are perfect. Great tying job! 8T :slight_smile:

Ah, peacock herl. A self-respecting panfish fly shouldn’t be caught dead without a little on it somewhere.

Got the new Fly Tyer, did ya? :smiley: Good-lookin flies!

Just might have to try to tie something similar. Looks like a good gill fly.

With various appendages of peacock herl, how durable are those flies. Are they badly damaged after 1 or 2 fish?

Thanks,
Ed

I caught 15 gills on one fly and it looked about the same. the peacock may heve been a little shorter.

Rick, thanks for that info! I’ll add those flies to my list of things to try.
