[QUOTE="meatGrinder, post: 2703847, member: 20129"] Does anyone else here tie there own flies for fly-fishing? I've been doing a lot of it lately. I started about ten years ago and just picked it back up again over the past year or so. Definitely a re-learning curve! Here's some pics. [ATTACH=CONFIG]45642[/ATTACH] This is a Pheasant Tail Soft-Hackle Nymph. It's a style rather than a specific pattern. You can change the hackle color, or add a different color hot-spot at the head. I didn't get the whip-finish quite right, but I'll add another spot of head cement and it should do fine. [ATTACH=CONFIG]45640[/ATTACH] One time at the family fishing cabin I found an old fly wallet with a bumble bee fly in it. It had to be at least 30 years old. So I took it out fishing and caught a brookie on the first cast. The fly immediately began to unravel and fell apart. So I tried to tie one up based on that pattern. [ATTACH=CONFIG]45643[/ATTACH] Rio Grande King Trude. I like this fly a lot. I catch a ton of brown and brook trout on it every year in southern Colorado. I see it tied with black chenille, but I use super-fine black synthetic dubbing. If you tie your own flies, let's see 'em. Plus, I love to learn from more experienced tiers because I still consider myself a beginner. [/QUOTE]
