G'day Martin...

I've NEVER been a big phan regarding the pre-phrabricated phly phuselage notion... but...
"if you build it, they will come"...
'might as well have the phur n' pheatherz pre-attached and internal magnets for a click-on-click-off quick-change application...
To each their own... but I digress...
Here's a "Wrapped n' Welded Three Pheather Phlat Wing" that was enthusiastically "assembled" in the Area61 Skunk Works by ME and phinished with BB magic voodoo acrylic...

Pete,

Pete,

As always: very nice flies and something that is bound to catch fish!

I've been fooling around with Popovics' Fleye Foils lately and making some small baitfish, but nothing with the variation and fantasy that yours display.

Lovely fly there Gary!

Comment to #254 - Down North

Thanks Kelly. It is kind of the reflection we see fishing here in October during fall colors.

Gary, Check out <

Gary,

Check out some of our more recent articles on tube flies, which explain the way you can combine outer, inner and junction tube.

Alan, I think this one is your best yet. Simple, yet elegant! As always, your tying is impeccable.
Cheers, Joel

Comment to #253 - Adirondack

Nice one Alan,all the colors blend so nicely together.

Comment to #253 - Adirondack

Alan, great work. Love the name, and explanation of the area. I got to visit Lake Placid and that area in the 1980's. That is where I got to see the first fly angler in action. I decided right then and there it was something I had to do, eventually. Anyway, the fly is wonderful. Love it.

Nice work Alan, as usual. The game of colors must be irresistible not only to a fish... Petr

Very helpful

Very helpful.
I love CDC and I am looking for more patterns and styles of CDC flies.
Thanks

do you need an inner

do you need an inner tube or use a junction tube at the end of the fly

Ayesha,

Name only

Ayesha,

Name only (the hook)?!! What hook? And naming all the gear and nets... what nets? No nets appear in this article. And naming all the gear makes no sense, and is far beyond the scope and subject of the article.

Don, That is a real beauty! I like the lack of belly and herl. This pattern doesn't need it. Looks like a fishy meal in an of itself.

Don, that is an absolute killer pattern. I LOVE IT. The colors are to die for. The profile it gorgeous. Artfully tied. A definite WINNER!

why do you name only

why do you name only hook? you should given name of nets and others gear.

I couldn't agree more

I couldn't agree more Martin! I hate xxxxin' flash! I have it shut off and refuse to view it. Jobs was right! Apple too rich though... come on they are way overdue because well, they are right. I also own nothing with Microsoft or windows in it. Cant stand that crap, it makes me ill looking at it.
