I tie something a little similar with a curved hook shank. A Klinkhammer to be exact. You tied this very well. I am over cautious so I put some UV epoxy over the boot body which is probably overkill.
For sure, putting resin over the body will help. But if you paint on some glue under it, it works better. Just dab some super glue or head cement on the thread wraps before wrapping the Biot. Thanks man! :)
@@McFlyAngler I can't believe that Tx still hasn't approved your license. Dirty pool, Peter! I remember the last time I visited the hot springs in Pagosa that thousands of mayfiles hatched from San Juan and were swarming around the hot pools. CO is mayfly Mecca.
It’s not Texas, it’s the federal level. Called an excise tax. I have a Texas license now, just waiting for the IRS to approve my license before I sell.
Mcfly I need help with something I have been tying flies and teasers with the hook up, mostly all of my flies are hook up. my question to you does it matter if the hook is up or if the hook is down please give me info on this. Have I been time my flies wrong?
No, I tie many flies hook point up. Down is generally easier depending on the pattern, and the weight of the hook bend will at times make it durn upside down (or right side up depending on your perception of it).
McFly Angler thanx I was worried. I fish in NY mostly surf fishing for stripe bass and blue fish. Blues, it don’t matter what you put on that hook they will hit it. But stripers can be really picky . Thanx for the response
Oh yeah I then would rather fish hook point up. Your using weight like dumbbells to keep the hook point up I’m sure. Lots of surf and ocean patterns are hook point up. You commented on a dry fly, so I figured your talking trout flies. Check out my saltwater streamers, I tie lots of salt stuff.

Nice job
Thanks
Do you have a lot of mayfly hatches in TX?
Not like Colorado... lol! There here and you can use these (I don’t think there are PMD’s though, but I still tie flies for other areas.

You catching fish the way you tie them? If so, your tying them just fine. Haha!
