Bubba B Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 That fly kind of reminds me of our Jack Russel's Hair-doo!!! [image]http://www.mbcforum.com/fbbuploads/1214782293-Vacation_2008_Shelbys_021b__2_.JPG[/image] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltFlyTyer Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 great job!! I look foreward to your tying instructions... Where do you buy your materials?? I noticed you live in miami.. ..kris.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokenGirl Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 I generally make a monthly trip up to Ole Florida in Boca for most of my stuff. If I need something in a pinch, I'll hit the Fly Shop in either Fort Lauderdale or Miami, depending on which I'm closer to on that day. As to instructions, it's about the easiest fly I've ever tied. Just tie in the red kinky hair, then tie in a pinch of white Flash Blend, fold it over and secure, repeat with the olive Flash Blend, repeat with the Olive EP 3D. Whip finish, glue on the eyes (I like Fletch Tite a lot). Once the glue is dry, apply a little epoxy to fill in the gap between the eyes and a little over the eyes. That's it, unless you want to add a weedguard. You'll get one in the flyswap, so you'll see how simple they are. I haven't had time to take photos of the other fly I tied for the swap (the Silly Wabbit), I'll probably get to it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltFlyTyer Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Great i will have to check them out... I used to go to what was the Biscayne Fly Shop.. I was told they are no longer there or changed names. I dunno.. I live in Pembroke Pines so south miami is a bit far... Which do you recomend The Fly Shop in lauderdale of ole florida?? I have a ton of materials but need to restock on some stuff like craft fur, eyes, thread, and check out some of the new stuff out there... ..kris..

TokenGirl Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Biscayne Bay Fly Shop was bought out by the Fly Shop of Ft Lauderdale. It's still in the same place, and it's now called Fly Shop of Miami. If you can get up to Ole Florida, it's worth the trip. Darrin is great to deal with, always a wealth of information. Very good inventory too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 OLE FLORIDA FLY SHOP did not know there was a nother shop. does not matter if darren does not have it i dont need it.
