Very nice fly good job 👍🎣🤠 Dave Hughes . I'm going to tye this fly for we have a bug at the time that looks just like it. Thanks for your time and knowledge, hope all's well with you and your's 🎣🤠 Dave Hughes Rolla Missouri.
Hi Jim, thanks for this lovely example. It looks very much like our local Black field cricket (Scientific name: Teleogryllus commodus). Cheers mate. Harera..
I was thinking about "Little Black Stoneflies" while tying some junk flies this morning. They show up around the middle to end of Feb here in CT. I going to be tying up my supply. Tomorrow we start gaining time, a whole 2 seconds so the long march to spring and then summer is upon us.
Thanks Jim ….. that was My initial impression, but as a Novice ….. I’m confused myself ! Your tutelage was OUTSTANDING …… As My Initial efforts were very impressive !! Thank You for Your Fine Instruction and Education !!!! Brian ✨🎣💫
PS ….. Just listened again to the video . I Apparently either Skipped or was Distracted by My New Puppy, at the beginning of Your Video …. As You CLEARLY state that this pattern is a DRY ! I can’t even blame alcohol 🍺 for my oversight ! I truly enjoy and appreciate Your work Jim !!!! Bria✨🎣💫
That is a hard question to answer. It depends on what kind of flies your tying. ( wet nymph or dry ) As a rule with natural materials , fur. Fur that comes from land animals is used for wet flies or nymphs. This is because they are not water resistant. Such as with rabbit fur. Fur that comes from water animals is water resistant. Such as beaver, mink, muskrat and such. Are more suited for dry flies. It is more likely that you will get synthetic materials. For dry flies I would suggest you use Super Fine dubbing. For nymphs you should use something like awesome possum. Hare's ear or Antron. You can get these in the 12 color dispenser it is cheaper and you don't have to worry if you have the proper color.
Jim, been home for a couple of months healing and tying. Thank God for your videos. They are the best.
Thanks
Everyone should have a few of these in their box. All year. Have a Merry Christmas. Keep tying and teaching..
Thanks Frank, I appreciate it.
