What Are You Tying Today?

Double bunny 1

Starting it off with a Double Bunny!
 
I'm just getting started with my tying for this year, working on some small frog patterns about 2 inches long. I haven't tied a complete fly yet. Just working on the bodies
Hook: Ahrex Predator Swim Bait hook, size 4. I also tie them on size 2 and 2/0
Body: strip of 6 mm craft foam
Legs: Silicone Spinner Bait Skirts(Sili Legs)
Eyes: Fish Skull Living Eyes, 6 or 7 mm
Belly Flash: Micro UV Polar Chenille, color to match body.
Thread: 3/0 or heavier, color to match foam
I'll also give them a coat of thin UV resin to help with floatation.

I'll post the completed pattern when I get them tied.
 
For the life of me, I can’t remember what it was that I started out to tie today.

Well, that cleared things up, somewhat.

Ah, yes. Inspired by a recent post of his Pickett Pin by dc410, here are a few of my versions of that fly. Plus, a Red Quill, because it’s getting near to that time of the year.

Now, I’m going to tie some more Pickett Pins using a CDC collar. If I can find my CDC.

Some simple minnow imitations.

I’ve been spending some free time trying to tie up soft hackles. Here are some partridge & green, partridge & orange, march brown, and something with a brown stretch tubing body. All in size 12 and/or 14. I’m not sure I have enough hand-eye coordination to try tying anything smaller in a soft hackle.

I haven’t done any actual fishing for the past few weeks, but I’m looking forward to fishing these and other soft hackle patterns soon.

The big puffy ones have worked well in the past on what I call big water (Loyalhanna Creek).
I thought I would do some small less puffy ones for some of the normal size streams I fish. So far white yellow and olive. Still plan to do some black & brown in smaller sizes. The big puffy ones get messy n the box.
