squidmotion Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 a few.... gonna do 'em till i run out of material.....then i'll cull the best! probably not the most complex....but i know the chrome clousers catch trout..... which equals fun! this is fun.... not sure which i will pick for my 'extra'..... working on a goldie version for reds.....but having trouble with the top and bottom colors thinking of an olive top (wing?), gold flash (body?), and orange bottom (belly?).... to mimic a mirrolure color i know they like.... i feel like a total barney compared to you guys (and gal)....i hope mine hold the muster, so to speak... this does make you better.... good practice for patterns you like.... and good news! i have in fact learned to flare and spin deer body hair! i didn't know if you wanted the barbs mashed down, like i do, so i didn't..... do you guys sharpen the hooks before you tie them? i don't, but i thought about it..... i'm more of a field sharpener....

shadow Posted May 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 looks good squid. i sharpen hooks frist. if you sharpen hooks on the boat make sure you do it over the water. those little shavings are bad on the deck,feet & your flyline. also if they are done and ready to go when the bite is on & you lose a fly or need to change fast you are ready. some thing i learned was after you sharpen hooks take a sharipe and color the point. that tells you at a quick look that it is sharp also keeps it from rusting. also when it wears off time to resharpen.

Benzo Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 looking great squiddy!!! After some wet testing on snook in Choko, oceanside tarpon in the Keys, and largemouth/peacock b*** at my local lake, I perfected my little minnow fly!! R&D complete... now that the fun is over, its time for the cloning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
