Not a lot activity at work today. So I sat reading all these saltwater, crayfish etc posts... which I normally just skip, since I've never felt an interest in it. But now I did it and saw the one with the link to the videos... so I watched them too. "Neat... what's the time? I want to go home to the vise!!!" When I got home I dug up the Congo hair I bought 2 years ago and have never touched. Now I've tied my first saltwater fly. What did I learn? On the next one I won't be too amitious when cutting the clumps of hair I'm going to tie in, especially not on the hook size that I was using (it wasn't exactly Marlin size). I saw it already after half of it was tied... "Naahh, this isn't how it's supposed to be." But I continued just for the heck of it... so this will be a Christmas tree decoration. It's FAT!!!! I'll, of course, cut the dangerous bit off... to Make Teresa happy. Personally I don't think it's needed. It's practically fish-proof. Here we go again. With half the amount of hair, a fish might be able to feel the steel part. ;o) /Nick-----Ursprungligt meddelande----- *Från:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *För [EMAIL PROTECTED] *Skickat:* den 26 april 2006 01:20 *Till:* [email protected] *Ämne:* Re: [VFB] Striper fly suggestion Hi Rene,I tie most of my saltwater flies on 1/0,2/0 and 3/0. You may alsowant to carry some Surflon nylon coated stranded steel leader material just in case the blues are in the area too. I also tie most flies on the mustad hooks 34007 and 34011.Good LuckRayIn a message dated 4/25/2006 6:04:27 PM Eastern Standard Time,[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Only one fly needed Rene...;^) Chartreuse and White Clouser. Tie up a big batch. Oh maybe a few extra patterns to liven up your fly box. A couple of small deceivers if the peanut bunker are out andabout. Add a touch of lavender to them.Maybe a flat -wing pattern or two. And a couple crease flies or gurglers for after dark. Possibly a few surf candies, because they're neat. But seriously...all you will use are the clousers. When is your striper hunt?
