I tied these a couple weeks ago and never blogged about them yet so here is my chance.
These were really fun to tie. I am going to try and hook up some nice trout on these here this summer on the henry's fork. They were kind of a challenge to tie due to all the colors in the foam. Also it was the first time I ever made my own eyes with mono.
Most of you don't know but I also blend my own dubbing. This is a black peacock blend I came up with that took me forever to come up with. Going to be tying some flies tonight with this to see how it goes and what I can come up with.
Nothing special here just wanted to try some new Zlon I got and never did a twisted body with them. Going to send these to a customer in Salt Lake and see what he thinks.
If you don't like this post my Puppy will eat your face off :) Well lick it off but I was close
I want to "dislike" this post, just to have that puppy lick my face! What a cutie! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that little guy! He is so hyper I love it :) Keeps me on my toes
ReplyDeleteReally like the bees. Those will do well in my opinion on a lot species of fish.
ReplyDeleteHome made dubbing rocks.
Those bees can be a "code breaker" pattern. Cool tie.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, did you color the bees, glue and cut the foam together, or cut those striped tubes in half? They turned out great w/e method you used. That dubbing looks really good, I was gonna make some, like we talked but never got around to it (yet). Nice work on that peacock, it looks awesome
ReplyDeleteMake sure to post those hookups with those bees. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI tied these before I started stacking my own foam. These were made with rainey's bee foam and cut in half. I watched a youtube video where her son tied them and went from them. Now I stack my own foam using 3m super 77 to hold the foam together. Then I used a dowel I found at a thrift store that I cut the tubes out of. I can make 100 pieces for the price of 1 from rainey's. Thanks everyone for your comments! I can't believe I got 3 more followers from yesterday. My puppy thanks you :)
