Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying??
Tom: With 20 pound mono. When I tie these flies, the FIRST think I do is to take a fingernail file and rough up the shank of the leading hook so that it will grip the glue and the mono better. Then, I cut a piece of 3inch or so of the 20 pound mono, lay one end down along the shank of that front hook. I then tie it down with a base of 3/0 thread I then super glue all that to the shank. I remove that hook from the vise, put the second hook in the vise. Tie the back half of the wooly bugger on that back hook. Then, put the front hook back into the vise. I then pull the mono through the eye of the rear hook, tie that to the shank real well. Then clip the mono off. Then, superglue that down to the shank. Then, tie the front wooly bugger onto the front hook as normal, and that's it. Clear as mud???

I tied some with red, and red beads (Red Hot Chili Peppers?), Olives, blacks, light olive,(Green and Roasted Chilies?) maroon, etc. After that, I experimented with a bunch of flies using spectrumized Canadian Style mohair bodies in various colors, and lately I have been tying a mohair fly on a curved hopper hook with crystal flash ribbing, and have been trimming the mohair so it looks as much like a hackled fly as a mohair fly.

I also tie up a PT/BHGRHE combo, by using PT for the tail, back and wingcase, but the usual Hare's Ear dressing for everything else. I don't know if it makes any difference to the fish, but I like the way it looks.

Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying??
Hi Tony; On that note, what if I wanted to build a bamboo rod with titanium holographic single foot guides with purple inserts, elctric blue metallic thread, a graphite spinning rod reel seat, and a pink foam grip! I guess you'd have a heart attack and die on the spot LOL! In actuality, I envision building a 7' SirD taper 2pc, with either titanium(gunmetal finish) or black finished snakes(more than likely titanium), with an agate stripper, a phillipson hammer handle shaped grip(short) with an intregal cork real seat. Again either titanium or black reel seat hardware to match rest of rod. I'm also trying to figure out how to incorporate some type of dark hardwood for the from taper of the grip and a butt cap. Only thing I haven't decided on is the winding check or thread but leaning towards silk thread in a somewhat neutral brown or orange without color preserver so it becomes translucent once varnished. For me, this would produce a rod with nothing bright or flashy either for fish or fisherman. But, if you look closely at the details I think the beauty shine through.

Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying??
Sounds good Chuck. One extra step I do to help secure the mono is to flatten the end with a pair of flat-nosed pliers from my radio building bench. Probalby not necessary with superglue.

Gary: Yeah, that would probably help hold it in place better. Plus, even with glue, it (the flattened mono) would give you more glue up area as well, Chuck - Original Message - From: glw...@gundluth.org To: vfb-mail@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 10:42 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying?? Sounds good Chuck. One extra step I do to help secure the mono is to flatten the end with a pair of flat-nosed pliers from my radio building bench. Probalby not necessary with superglue.

AM Please respond to vfb-m...@googlegr oups.com Tom: With 20 pound mono. When I tie these flies, the FIRST think I do is to take a fingernail file and rough up the shank of the leading hook so that it will grip the glue and the mono better. Then, I cut a piece of 3inch or so of the 20 pound mono, lay one end down along the shank of that front hook. I then tie it down with a base of 3/0 thread I then super glue all that to the shank. I remove that hook from the vise, put the second hook in the vise. Tie the back half of the wooly bugger on that back hook. Then, put the front hook back into the vise. I then pull the mono through the eye of the rear hook, tie that to the shank real well. Then clip the mono off. Then, superglue that down to the shank. Then, tie the front wooly bugger onto the front hook as normal, and that's it. Clear as mud???

Hi Tom; I have two others, 1st I tie a chili pepper variation that works great for bluegills, sz12 2x nymph hook with a 6/0 red glass craft bead. I also keep the marabou tail short and stubby ala Tony Spezio method. Second is a MD pattern, Jay Sheppard's Pautuxent Speacial, both bead head and non beadhead versions sizes 6 thru 12, typically 3x or 4x streamer hook (http://www.dsflies.com/index.php?main_page=product_infoproducts_id=215) I've caught bass,bluegill, and Pickeral on this pattern.

I made one rod with single foot guides quite a few years back (okay, probably 30!). Never again. Even though they were tightly wrapped and had several coats of epoxy on them, I had a guide slip out. I lost the guide, but since it was the only fly rod I had, I went out fishing with it and derned if another guide didn't come out of the wraps. Ill stick with Snake guides, thank you.

Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying??
Not to be a smart butt, they were not wrapped right. I dislike wrapping them. There are several types, I have used two types. If I was going to use them, I would use the Arrow head type.

Another thing. if not wrapped right, they will slip out from the wrap. I made one rod with single foot guides quite a few years back (okay, probably 30!). Never again. Even though they were tightly wrapped and had several coats of epoxy on them, I had a guide slip out. I lost the guide, but since it was the only fly rod I had, I went out fishing with it and derned if another guide didn't come out of the wraps. Ill stick with Snake guides, thank you.

Second is a MD pattern, Jay Sheppard's Pautuxent Speacial, both bead head and non beadhead versions sizes 6 thru 12, typically 3x or 4x streamer hook (http://www.dsflies.com/index.php?main_page=product_infoproducts_id=215) I've caught bass,bluegill, and Pickeral on this pattern.

First I experimented using Chinese Crystal beads I found at the craft store, (I posted a picture of some of them). Then I tied up a bunch of buggers Chili Pepper style: A couple dozen using Tony's colors, then a bunch more using similar materials but different colors, but all using the same basic elements: plucked marabou tail, metallic tinsel chenille body, stiff short dry fly hackle, a bead, and a bright, fluorescent orange collar. I tied some with red, and red beads (Red Hot Chili Peppers?), Olives, blacks, light olive,(Green and Roasted Chilies?) maroon, etc. After that, I experimented with a bunch of flies using spectrumized Canadian Style mohair bodies in various colors, and lately I have been tying a mohair fly on a curved hopper hook with crystal flash ribbing, and have been trimming the mohair so it looks as much like a hackled fly as a mohair fly. It is much thinner than the other buggers and looks like a passable damsel fly or dragon fly imitation. Lately I have been doing a lot more stillwater fishing than river fishing, so I like having a good selection of buggers in various sizes and styles. Any suggestions for buggers? Do any of you have a favorite bugger pattern you would like to tell me about? When I can't stand tying buggers any more, I will tie up the usual suspects: Pheasant Tails, Gold Ribbed Hare's ears, RS-2s and Prince Nymphs in various sizes. I also tie up a PT/BHGRHE combo, by using PT for the tail, back and wingcase, but the usual Hare's Ear dressing for everything else. I don't know if it makes any difference to the fish, but I like the way it looks. I will also be tying up some chironomids, I had some luck fishing with them in still water last spring, and am going to try to duplicate the success this year.

Re: [VFB] RE: What's everybody tying??
Wayne, Have you ordered any fox squirrel yet? The reason I ask is I have the same video and have been meaning to buy a squirrel hide. And when you posted this it reminded me that I have been wanting to not just do the red fox squirrel, but also a black squirrel. Since they are found in nature, I would rather use the real deal instead of messing with dyes. I would be interested in some died in picric acid, but I would have to track down someone who can do that safely for me.I have a copy of Dyeing and Bleaching by A.K. Best but I have yet to read it.
