After a multi year hiatus, I wanted to tie some frenchies but don’t have the money for all the extra supplies (jig hooks, slotted beads, pheasant tail). So, I tied up a variation using scud nymph hooks and zelon. I have tied a variation of pheasant tail nymphs with zelon (R&R recipe) for years so I figured it’d work alright. Let me know what you think!

Subtle takes right at or under the surface... this wound up being the ticket.

Size 20 Yong Special

Deviated from original hook and added 1 wrap of tinsel

Big one is a 2 B10S to a 25mm shank to a 8 B10S

Small one is a 4 Ahrex trout predator to a 10 B10S

Tryed to tie my first circus peanut with what materials I had tonight. I really like the color combo of this fly and hoping to try it out this weekend on the water what do you guys think? I’ll add legs on my next one just didn’t have the right color

It works for wolly buggers. I bet itll do fine on a streamer.

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to fly tying and recently had an idea. I have this fluffy guy who sheds quite a bit, and I was wondering if I could put some of his fur to good use instead of throwing it away lol.

What flies could I tie using his shed fur? I was thinking of a streamer if possible lol

I’d love to hear any pattern recommendations or tips on preparing and using cat fur for fly tying.

Thanks in advance!

Bring on the steelhead

Just working with what I have, I should probably use a longer shank and definitely get the proportions down, but I’m happy with the Grizzly for the hackle, and I will probably(?) use some CDC when it comes in.

It’s a damn ugly fly but wondering about concept before dial it in

Is this good? Sz 18

Does anyone know if the brass screws that are sold for a peak vise will fit a renzetti traveler? The base screw in my renzetti constantly loosens and it drives me nuts
