OntarioFishingGuy Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 During these past few weeks, I have been doing a LOT of tying. Here are some of the projects I have finished: Bucktail jig set: Steelhead box: Micro jig box: Trout nymph box: Misc. box (emergers, carp flies, streamers): Enjoy! 3 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted October 18, 2015 Super User Posted October 18, 2015 Looking good! I just started tying a few weeks ago caught a few bass and pike on some of my flys and had a giant salmon hit one also but he broke me off a minute into the fight. Nothing to fancy or intricate buggers some streamers and glow bugs. Before After 2 Quote
Will Wetline Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Nice, neat ties, OntarioFishingGuy. I'm a week away from this year's steelhead trip to New York's Salmon River. Here's what I'm going to offer them: 3 Quote

Super User kickerfish1 Posted October 18, 2015 Super User Posted October 18, 2015 Everything looks good and "buggy"! Nice tying! Quote
Will Wetline Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 Thank you, OFG. A professional tier once told me that "Glo Bugs get easy to tie after the first 500 or so." Having resisted throwing my vise out a closed window in a moment of frustration and researching different methods/techniques for Bug tying, I no longer find them problematic. (I've probably tied 200 by now.) Here are links to tutorials by two masters: http://loren.teamfreestone.com/tutorials/egg-patterns/glo-bug As Mr. Williams, I use two full thickness of yarn for the body and 1/4 thickness for the yolk. Hook: Daiichi 1520, size 10 Thread: UTC GSP 100 denier Do not use Kevlar! It's too thick and it will dull your scissors in no time. The best scissors I've found for the final cut of yarn is a small, titanium coated scissors. Both Fiskars and Westcott make them. And remember, even if your eggs are imperfect, the fish will still eat them if presented properly to them. As you continue to tie, the details, the finer points, will come to you and you will enjoy the experience more. 1 Quote
Ginosocalbass Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Nice work Tiring some finesse hair jigs for winter time. The skull caps really are nice for adding the weight needed o cast but still get a slow fall Quote
