You're becoming a fly tying master there Dick. Looks like you have some angry spider-bee combo among the arsenal. Curious Dick, what's that material you're using for the wax worm? Looks like white foam strips?

Large rubber spiders.

Small bead jigs.

Scud Bugs these were a little complicated for me to small need better eyes.

Good looking flies Tooty. I got my table set up and been tying all day found out how slow it is maybe when I get some more time under my belt.

Blue Gill but flies and rubber legged dragons.

EH2 IS HISTORY LEO and the short EH3 WILL be with me to the end!!!! Don't know about these Leo and they were a miserable attempt at trying to duplicate REX'S GREAT TIE. WHEN TIME PERmits will attempt another batch of these later this winter. Got alot of rods I'm working on now and trying to get done in the next few weeks..........

Tooty..EH2 is gone?! EH3 Micro better be in play soon. These look pretty good. I bet you that they will get hammered here during late spring.  The chartreuse and polar pink will be hammered quite hard in AZ during early spring.

Rick, I won't buy anything..yet..

Tooty,

I see they sell solid fibreglas blanks at Janns (wink, wink)

NO DICK, the hooks are actually bigger than I normally use, but the eyes are big and there are two different sizes of eyes there and hooks also. An old hardware store here has that light pull chain in three different sizes. I will put the big ones on some streamers this year as they do look to big on a #10. The one at top left and bottom left are both #8 mustad dry fly hooks and have a really big gape and that's what I liked about the hook the most and barb is more pronounced also........

HEY DICK, USUALLY by this time of the year I'm down in the shop making standard stuff for spring .  Still have the experimental bug thing going yet and with watching the TALENT ON HERE I get inspired too. Been working on old rods and trying to find materials for new stuff and have some ideas for the NEW AGE STUFF still to be made , and better get at it before it slips away outta my mind.

  David has me inspired to make a solid glass 2 piece ulta light and will do that in the next month or so after winter hits here full force, so to speak.

  Dick you are one of the most diligent tiers on here because of having to break down your tying set up every time a Holiday rolls around !!!!! More power to ya buddy. In a previous message , that got lost in the shuffle, you commented about the sizes of New Age being so similar and I just went with the large size because when I talked to Rick at ANGLERS WORKSHOP , he told me they were all with in about the same size by a 1/4" or so . I"m really anxious to get at the streamers too because of success I had late in the season at Kents on GILLS, CRAPPIE, AND GREEN CARP.
   GOOD LUCK BUDDY with the stetch cord cause it beat me and just can't make those nymphs like MASTER REX..........

Tooty all you guys are getting my juices flowing. Can't wait till Friday I can get all my stuff back out of the garage and back into the dining room and tie some stuff up at least till Christmas then I'll be packing it out again but I guess I can get a few things tied in 3 or 4 weeks. I really think your flies look great I'll try to copy a few of them.

Cool Tooty - Leo will buy anything... Good idea David
