spring break flies

[rmooney]

over spring break i tied up some more deer hair flies!

Nice spun hair flies, Rob.

Are you coloring the hair with markers or are you splicing in the different color hair when you spin it in? I like the top view on your 6th pic.

I also like your vise; the Renzetti Traveler. It's the one that I use for tying up everything except small dries.

thanks! i use different color hair. on some of the flies the hair did not spin very evenly, so the spots and lines are not very symetrical. but i dont think the fish will mind yeah, i just got that vise and it is awesome. i got the pedestal version and it works relly well.

Pocono, He's stacking hair and flairing it. No markers. I posted a pretty good you tube video a while back showing how to do it. I learned how to do it from the video, and have not been able to stop since. Before you start, heed my warning, it is addicting and makes a heck of a mess.

That's a nice one, Dan! I really like the definition that you get behind and in front of the eyes on the top of that pattern.

You're right - what I don't need now is another addiction! But - it sure looks interesting; maybe something like a Green Machine to start out? (chuckle).

I have been really busy lately, and missed your question when you first posted it, Rmooney, but I will try to do a step by step on how to do the weed gaurd. I have some flies I have to post for Ard first, so I don't get in trouble though....
