You keep me inspired. Recently I've had good luck getting the wings set. A bit much tail but the wings are OK.i dont think its weirdness but lately its been winged wet flies, hairwing atlantic salmon flies, hairwing steelhead flies
what might be weird is that there are no steelhead in connecticut. i just like tying that style of fly. they could also be used for salmon
Love the Rush reference! Today's Frank Sawyer, mean, mean fly!I would say my particular brand of weirdness runs to tying old-fashioned flies with modern, usually synthetic, materials. One I tyed to emulate the pheasant-tail nymph that I call 'Today's Frank Sawyer', using copper holographic tinsel over-wound with clear Larva Lace, peacock ice dubbing and flashback for the wing case, for example.
I have a fairly unhealthy obsession with bucktail. Any time I tie a pattern that doesn't typically use bucktail I almost always try to find a way to add some.
YOU have an unhealthy bucktail obsession!?
I should throw up a photo of the premium stuff alone I've purchased....nevermind....I don't wanna see the numbers and calculate my cost on those.
