Rainy day activities

[albinotrout]

With the rain today I decided to pull out the vise. Tied up a few clousers to chase bass with. Not bad for a first try no?

Oops pic didn't post I'll try again.

Those are some good lookin flies you got there. Please forgive me for being a beginner here....but what type of material did you use for the body?

280 deniers thread wrapped around hook then I tied the eyes on, dabbed some head cement then tied on bucks tail (white), added crystal flash under hook, then tied second color of buck tail to under side of hook. That's it, nice and easy.[cool]

What hooks did you use? They look good too!

Thanks! The hooks I used for these are dai-riki #930 size 2/0. The only box of this size at the fly shop I went to. Size 2 is a good size too. I also picked up some umpqua size 4 to try out. Both hooks have a straight eye.

I know, but look at the price. I love SW hooks. No rust.

[albinotrout]

What are the hook lengths? The ones I am using say standard length.

I can't swear to it but I am betting the SW002 are the same.

I'm pretty sure a bass would love to go on a date with one or all of those minnows.
