"JESTER!!! That was supposed to be offlist...as in OFF-LIST!!!" -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: Niclas Runarsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Skickat: den 4 november 2005 22:57 Till: '[email protected]' Ämne: RE: [VFB] mole crab?
If these 'tricks' of yours are referring to the fly, then no bother continue to read... just a waste of time. But if they are referring to the McFly Foam (as product), then the mail will have a point. I got curious about these 'tricks' of yours. I like tying with McFly Foam... and if you had additional tips about it, I'd be glad to know. (One of the flies I'll soon send to Hans, is actually my 'McMuddler'.) /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För DonO Skickat: den 4 november 2005 21:11 Till: [email protected] Ämne: Re: [VFB] mole crab? Ginger, I don't like deer hair for crabs, anyway. It's too bouyant and not durable enough. I prefer McFlyfoam Yarn, that stuff I showed you in Salt Lake City. The duck and the crab were two of the flies I tied with it. It also makes great sculpinheads. It ties like a combination of deer and wool- stack, pack, trim. Treated with floatant, it floats like a cork, and wet it's neutrally bouyant, so it will readily sink with any weight, like the hook, lead, or bead eyes. Comes in a kajillion colors too. Byard should be able to get it for you, if he doesn't already carry it. THey have the drab olive-grey colors that you need for crabs and stuff. There's a few tricks for tying with it, but I can walk you through those.

I'm not sure that spinning deer hair crabs is anything new if that's what you're asking. I've had a green crab of spun deer hair on Hans site for a couple years now and I got that pattern from a local tyer here that has tied them for years. I don't think he limits it to just green crabs, that just happens to be the pattern I chose to tie for Hans.

Has anyone seen a spun deer hair mole crab pattern. I created one but don't know if anyone else has. Want to write an article about it. Ginger M.
