Turned out pretty cool: Here is the thread used: ![]() Laid down the base of Blue thread with a copper wire included plus tied in the Yellow Silk: ![]() ![]() Then I covered with side by side YELLOW SILK and ribbed with copper wire: ![]() Finished up the Chironomid with Peacock and White Ostrich for gills: ![]() NOW ADD WATER: ![]() OLIVE!!!!

[signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - albinotrout - 08-06-2009 It looks good. I might have to try tying it myself. Something new!!![cool][cool][cool] [signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - macfly55 - 08-06-2009 awesome.. didnt you do something similar a while back ... like something clear where when it got wet the color underneath showed thru.. ?? MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] More SILK - flygoddess - 08-06-2009 I did. The TRANSFORMER. But do you know how hard it is to find BLUE fly tying thread? Surprising tuff. I found this at the Close out of Sportsmen's of Pocatello. I know blue and yellow = green, and now I have the blue. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - macfly55 - 08-06-2009 awesome..

[signature] Re: [jigs] More SILK - flygoddess - 08-23-2009 COOL....I will give that a try. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - flygoddess - 08-24-2009 My mind is always on call. Took the dog for a walk and was thinking about the Mosquito or even an Adams with black base and white silk, but then I realized....they are dries. You don't want them soaking up water and they won't change color unless they do. I do like the silkiness of silk thread though with a slight shine and I do have Gray. I am going to try tying up some Mosquitoes out of Gray and black ribbing and Adams out of the gray.

[signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - albinotrout - 08-30-2009 So what size of hook did you use? [signature] Re: [albinotrout] More SILK - flygoddess - 08-31-2009 Yes I did. I am using a #12 Tiemco 200R hook and a Tungsten Bead. I worked on a couple at Strawberry this week. [signature] Re: [flygoddess] More SILK - albinotrout - 09-01-2009 Thanks for the info. I am currently collecting the supplies so as to tie the fly. [signature] |
