Pretty fly Draco... I love sparse dressings 'though I may clip the hackle underside for a low riding drift.

Real nice.

Best,
Andy

Thanks Andy, I'm glad that you liked the fly. I have another fly with clipped hackle but it is not so good looking to post a photo.

Best regards,
Drago

Jeroen - very inventive! Definitely going to tie some lures following that style and see how they swim. The shrimp with the pheasant feathers is excellent (so are the others!)

Jack, so how much weight is in the first fly?

Loving the different tyings, great to see a picture of the leggy nymph in the trouts mouth. What's your opinion on the big leggy nymphs?

TheBadger · Post by **TheBadger** » Wed Dec 15, 2010 3:12 am

Um maybe 2 or 3 lbs. It's great, makes your fish weigh pretty heavy! Nah, it's two tungsten beads - 2.5 and 3.5mm. I'm a big fan of legs on nymphs. The extra movement is fantastic. That's why I typically use the thinnest legs where I can, more movement.

Fishy looking flies Jack/the Badger

The first couple seems to be truly BBBB flies

Heavy Metal at its finest, Alex. Oh, and they're weighted with lead too...just for that touch of excess.
