Bq nymph

[lv2nymph]

This one is bq-35 dark olive & 39 lt. olive. I was trying to obtain that blotchy molted look with this one. When I first fished it I went through a run with two others then tied this one on went back to the beginning of the same run and took more fish with it not minutes after the first time.

Geebee,
I hesitated to order from that site, I've never ordered something from overseas. I'm interested to see how fast it gets here. Seems like Performance flies is out til Monday, I was just going to wait it out and see if they update inventory.

I can't wait to get my BQ so I can start tying some of these fish catching beauties.

Jack, you are the BQ swami

Wow, thanks Mike I'm glad you like them. The past weeks I've been really experimenting with different color combinations, threads, ribbing, dark colors on top, underneath I've got quite a pile of hooks with experiments on them that I'm stripping now. It's been fun and I feel I'm just starting to find what can be done, I'm excited about what will come out of playing with this stuff.

 

[Harley]

Tinsel underbody? Could be like a candy apple effect?

 

[lv2nymph]

Yes, I see Harley. That sounds intriguing enough to follow up on. I tried some different colors of tinsel ribbing & holo tinsel on top of the bq and didn't like any of the ones I tried. But I did not try it underneath, it will have a whole different effect. good man...

i've ordered stuff from the UK, Canada & EU with no problems. its usually 4-5 business days.

I would NOT order from China though.

I finally got the materials and time to tie a few flies with this stuff.
Now to take them out for a test and see how the do.

 

[lv2nymph]

Nice Bill, I'm thinking they're going to pass the test and get the nod from the trout.

[lv2nymph]

Those chartreuse ones look backlit, they're gonna rock!
