After not tying for waaaaay to long, and wondering if I ever would again … here’s one of the DOZEN I tyed today, with materials I had at hand. (Darned if I was going to invest in new stuff, if I may not survive LA!!) Pretty exciting for me! No way would I have been able to vise-up that hook, or any size, before LA. Miracles do happen.

I call it my faux-tupps, and hope it proves to be indispensable!
tail is golden pheasant, body is sulfur yellow turkey biot, pink ostrich for the thorax, and light dun hen hackle, hook is a #16 TMC100

I don’t know. I think it need serious testing on Dakota.Michigan,and Montana trout. Let me know when you are ready for the Michigan phase. I’ll bring the landing net.

Beautifully done, Betty! SO HAPPY!!

You know from Florida, they turn pink from eating shrimp.

Very nice fly Betty, the girl fish are going to love it. They are usually the large of that species I believe.

Hi Betty,

Nicely done I think!

Hey, I just bought a couple down locking reel seats!

God bless,

Popperfly, methinks you omitted a very important piece of punctuation, unless you now wish to be known as Tennessee Betty.

Swamp Witch Betty tied a truly beautiful fly. I hope she gets to use it, soon! :slight_smile:

Regards to all,

Betty’s Indispensable.

OK Ed…I am retracting that important piece of punctuation starting now!!

A very nice fly Betty, you have posted some excellent flies in the past,
this in that great tradition. Keep up the good work.

That’s a pretty fly. Now you’ve got me thinking that there are guy flies and gal flies. Maybe I am not catching many because my flies are too one gendered. I’ll have to start doing some female versions too!!!
