Gunpowder is a really nice place but, people being lazy with cleaning their gear has ruined this stream for me. DIDYMO for the lose.

What sort of ink or paint are you using with that pen? How about permanent adhesion on the rod?

When I get an idea, the initial notion will inevitably morph...
The end result is the product of manipulating material to arrive at a target compromise of shape, colour, and texture...
Sometimes the evolution comes together nicely in defined stages...
Being able to capture the image makes the R&D aspects more rewarding and much easier to share with friends in the tying community...

I was initially trying to insinuate a juvenile... the next was more adolescent...
and phinally, a mature ocean bound herring...

more obsessive compulsive tweeeekin'... after the fact, I decided to spot weld on a hint of salmon...
gotta' love that magic voodoo acrylic!

Jakob,

I might add a few more photos, but I need to know exactly what you are missing. What details do you want to have illustrated better?

Hey Martin

I know I know you have a lot all ready :0). I acknowledge the great work you do off course. The only thing i was aiming at was more pictures of the final fly, but I will have to settle with 40 it seems ;0).

Best wishes

Jakob

where doe you get the material shrimp legs tyed on your super shrimp?

Hi Mike,
thanks for the ideas from the southern hemisphere. I will try them. I am fishing with my daughter, so three or four fish should be sufficient for dinner. I am just curious whether it is going to work on flatfish.
You guys must get ready for trout season.

I would try a small wooly worm, probably no bigger than size 10, in the same colour as the local rag or harbour worms. Or a small shrimp pattern with plenty of flash.
All the best
Mike

Since you got this far …

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
